T³ Update Online -- Tips, Tricks and Techniques for Users of Beckman Coulter Life Science Automation

Printer Friendly

Welcome From the Editors – Fall 2008 Issue

In this Fall Issue of T3 Update Online, we encompass a variety of topics to capture your interest. We highlight applications ranges from high-throughput PBMC (Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells) isolation to implementation of a multi-faceted robotic workstation for high-throughput lead identification. Finally, we feature the upcoming 11th Annual MipTec Conference—Beckman Coulter Symposium in association with amaxa AG–part of the Lonza Group—focused on Nucleofector™ Technology and other cellular applications.

Thank you to those who participated in this year’s 3rd European Biomek User Summit held in Opio en Provence, France, in June. For those who weren’t able to enjoy France with us this year, this issue covers some of the highlights of the User Summit, including the following presentations and posters:

Current and Future Challenges in Automating Life Science Processes
Implementation of a Multi-faceted Robotic Workstation for High-throughput Lead Identification
