General Lab Automation
The innovative and state of the art LICONIC Plate Hotels, Automated Incubators and Plate Management Systems can be used standalone or can be integrated in large automated Systems – they are designed for these applications.
Immuno-Assays
Immuno assays can be found in almost all scientific research and analytical labs. These assays are a relatively simple, fast, specific, and reliable method for detecting and quantifying nearly any kind of molecules. ELISA´s are the most common immuno assays, they are preformed in 96 or 384 well plate formats and are very often automated with liquid handlers. Ask LICONIC for the right equipment to run immuno assays.
Metabolomics
Metabolomics is the field of extensive analysis of all – large and small – cellular molecules. This relatively new technology supports and accelerates pharmaceutical research and development process for new drugs. Effects of chemical compounds can be analyzed in more detail in an earlier step. For metabolomic assays LICONIC can offer automated solutions for sample incubation and compound storage. .
Cellomics
Cellomics is the field of studying cells and their function. For assays like ADME-T a multitude number of cell lines have to be cultivated. More and more these assays are performed in HTS labs in an early step of pharmaceutical screening to evaluate drug candidates. Another field in cell biology is the research with embryonic stem cells. LICONIC can provide the right incubators to cultivate cells at very stable conditions.
Genomics
Genomics is the study of the genome of organisms. In many labs standard genomic applications are often highly automated. Also sample storage systems become more and more important. In addition the management of sample information is a very significant point. Selection and access to single samples is necessary for modern analysis and techniques. Sample Management in intelligent storage systems is an upcoming technology. Here LICONIC can offer the newest equipment.
Proteomics
Proteomics describes the science and research related with the proteome – all proteins in cells, organisms or tissues at a particular time and specific conditions. In HTS applications proteins can be identified and characterized in high numbers. To get 3-D structural information of proteins crystallization of the proteins is necessary. To obtain best results constant temperature and humidity are essential. LICONIC offers a wide range of state of the art incubators for these applications.
Pharmaceutical research chemical compounds have to tested for their activity, specificity and finally for their toxicology side effects. This area covers a wide range of applications from target screening, over cell based assays to toxicological tests.
