Software for Nanolitre Liquid Handler

TTP LabTech announced the release of version 2.7 software for its easy-to-use nanolitre liquid handler, mosquito, to benefit screeners as well as protein crystallographers. The new functionality improves serial dilution set-up for screeners, automates new applications for protein crystallographers and enhances the new mosquito X1 hit-picking system. The software supports worklists by reading CSV files from Microsoft Excel to generate protocols and write results to CSV for display in Excel. This is ideal for many screening applications as it gives a simple and very flexible method for editing complex pipetting protocols or making changes on the go, without detailed knowledge of the instrument. It also makes it easy for the user to cross-reference worklists with the actual pipetting results.
