Four into One Does Go

TTP LabTech have taken another step towards providing faster screening with the delivery and installation of the first comPanion 1-2-4 remote arrayer at a European site. Access to their self-contained comPound microtube stores is now possible at four times the speed. The remote arrayer connects up to four comPound modules – each of which can store up to 100,000 compounds – to provide fast, remote delivery or storage of individual microtubes from an easily expandable sample library. All connected modules can be accessed at the same time, so processing speed actually improves as storage modules are added. With two modules connected comPanion 1-2-4 is able to process over 6,500 cherry-picked microtubes in an eight hour day. This rises to over 10,000 microtubes per day when four modules are connected.
