Hudson Robotics produces robots to solve specific lab automation needs in the areas of microplate and liquid handling. We also offer complete workcells in which our products are integrated with third party equipment to solve complex laboratory protocols. All of our equipment is tied together by our powerful, but easy-to-use SoftLinx Control software, which supports a huge number integrations with 3rd party equipment.
These tools are designed to move SBS-footprint plates around a workcell, place and remove them from stacks and other devices, such as liquid handlers, readers, incubators, etc.
All of Hudson Robotics' equipment can be easily integrated with third-party instruments to create work cells that automate applications and protocols with any level of complexity. Click here for an up-to-date listof third-party instruments that have already been integrated.
These instruments transfer liquids from various sources to SBS-footprint plates. They deliver volumes with very low CVs and can be safely used with live cell cultures. Much of their operation can be controlled and monitored by the SoftLinx control software; however, each instrument also comes with their own software control. The Micro10x multichannel Dispensor comes with an LCD pad controller interface, and the SOLO comes with its own multifunctional Windows-based controller - SOLOSoft.
These systems provide scientists with an automated systems for handling various aspects of biological and biochemical research. We provide workcells that automate various readers such as flow cytometers and label-free workcells. We also provide systems that support specific molecular biology applications such as PCR preparation and purification, colony picking or cell culture development. We also have the ProLink Express that provides a complete solution to all of your molecular biology research.
The workcells in this new category are being designed to allow researchers in the drug discovery field to run a wide range of useful assays that are typically used in high-throughput screens. The various options available in the VaryScreen series support many cell-based, receptor-based and enzyme-based assays using common detection methods, such as fluorescence energy transfer, reporter gene luminescence, enzyme-linked immunoabsorption, and UV-Visibile light absorption. With the accompanying SoftLinx control software, it is possible to design complex assays with flow schemes that can vary as the nature of the results are obtained and examined interactively.
