Presentation: P03004 Session: Robotic Screening & Automation Technologies - Poster SessionPhil Robinson, KBiosciences Presenting Author: Marjan Orban, BMG LABTECH GmbH - Germany Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNP’s) have recently become an invaluable tool in the field of Genetic Research. They are employed in a wide range of scientific fields from Pharmacogenetics to animal breed identification through to disease gene mapping. They are a popular choice of genetic marker due to their ease of assay and analysis. Many standard assays, however, remain relatively expensive to use in high throughput. In this poster we show the use of the PHERAstar multimode plate reader for fluorescence intensity measurements in both SNP Genotyping chemistry development and high throughput production genotyping. KBiosciences’s proprietary FRET based assay technology and BMG LABTECH’s PHERAstar plate reader allow cost effective, rapid and reliable analysis of sample volumes as small as 1 µL in 1536-well plates. |
