Protein Expression Automation
Information management system OrchestratorIMS (pictured, from NextGen Sciences) is fully compatible with cloning techniques such as Gateway, TOPO and traditional methods. The software enables planning experiments at a PC, and then carrying out the research using either manual techniques or laboratory robotics. A rules-based understanding of molecular biology allows the system to identify planned cloning strategies that are unlikely to be successful. SOPs are generated detailing the lab work required, and will monitor and track the whereabouts of all biomaterials, samples and reagents. NextGen Sciences has also developed the expressionworkstation, an automated molecular biology technology platform that integrates the OrchestratorIMS software. In terms of automation and throughput, the expressionworkstation sits between the expressionfactory, the company's fully automated proteins expression system, and OrchestratorIMS in the gene to protein product family. The platform integrates a selection of the instrumentation from the expressionfactory, including liquid and plate handlers, a thermo cycler, chilled well plate positions, a centrifuge, and a vacuum station. The expressionworkstation enables the user to send programs of work directly from their PC to the robotics on the workstation to run modular molecular biology processes.
