A Unique Approach to Hanging Drop Automation
Jun 20 2007
Mosquito automates hanging drop plate set-up by aliquoting protein solution from a single source column to all 96 adhesive-free ?windows' on a hanging drop plate seal. Then, because mosquito pipettes in columns, it is able to take a column of droplets of solutions from the reservoir plate and place these directly on top of the protein drops to form a mirror image of the reservoir plate. The seal containing the mirror image drops is then inverted over the reservoir plate so each combined droplet of protein and screen hangs over its corresponding well of reservoir solution. Complete set-up takes under 2 minutes and it does not require a wash step or the creation of a duplicate source plate.
Automating drop set-up allows the researcher to screen more conditions using less sample in a shorter time, with the added advantages of improved accuracy and repeatability.
