SOLO/MicroFlex Combination: Throughput Rivaling 8-channel pipettors, but at a Fraction of the Cost!
Hudson's SOLO Single-channel Robotic Pipettor is now being offered with a MicroFlex High-Speed Dispenser accessory.  This combination approaches the throughput of an expensive 8-channel pipettor at less than half the cost and with a small (15in. x 24in.) footprint that fits easily into standard biosafety cabinets.

The SOLO/MicroFlex combines the high-speed reagent dispensing capability of the MicroFlex with the extreme versatility of the SOLO's ability to deal with individual plate wells.

U.K.'s Medical Research Council Orders 'RapidPick Lite'
Phillip Farrelly, President, Hudson Robotics, Inc.


The Medical Research Council, a century-old government sponsored organization dedicated to advancing basic life science research in the U.K., has selected Hudson's RapidPick Lite benchtop colony-picking system to aid in their genomic research efforts.  Capable of processing more than 3000 bacterial colonies per hour, the RapidPick Lite fits on a standard lab bench, yet has the capacity of colony pickers many times its size. 

The RapidPick can load and run batches of up to 75 colony plates and 18 deep-well growth plates without reloading.

Hudson Robotics Introduces the VaryScreen ADME (Tox) System
Alan H. Katz, CSO, Hudson Robotics, Inc.

Hudson recently introduced an integrated screening workcell designed to provide quick and accurate profiling of ADME and toxicological properties of drug molecules.



The basic system contains everything needed to support biochemical assays that measure physicochemical properties of a drug molecules, such as solubility,
lipophilicity, pKa and protein binding.  It also can measure a drugs affinity towards key targets, such as hERG and the various CYP enzymes.

Automation on Demand
Pat Regan, National Sales Manager, Hudson Robotics, Inc

The concept of reconfiguring automated lab robot systems to meet the individual needs of multiple users is a concept that has great appeal.  It helps reduce capital investments in multiple instruments while getting the most benefit from expensive robot systems.  What might be called "Automation On-Demand" has often required bulky, portable  "docking" platforms where single instruments can be moved in and out of robot workcells.  Then, using pre-programmed positions, a robot arm can service the instruments when it is docked into the work table.
