Many DiscoveRx assays are based on our proprietary Enzyme Fragment Complementation (EFC) technology, which had been fully adopted in clinical diagnostics before its application to drug discovery when the company founded in 2000. EFC is a proven and established screening technology, particularly for GPCR screening applications with our HitHunter cAMP assays, and most recently our PathHunter Beta-Arrestin assays for GPCRs. Targets addressed with our technology include GPCRs, Kinases, Proteases, Nuclear Hormone Receptors & Transcription Factors, secreted proteins, and other cell signaling proteins.
PathHunter Beta-Arrestin Assays introduces EFC in a cell-based assay for protein-protein interactions (including but not limited to Beta-Arrestin:GPCR interactions, receptor tyrosine kinases and others) inside living cells. PathHunter provides a fully homogeneous assay approach with a single reagent addition that is ideal for screening. It delivers many of the benefits associated with high content analysis, but without the need for imaging, and can also provide improvements over traditional reporter gene technologies by measuring pathways directly rather than through an expressed reporter. Our flexible ProLabel™ tagging approach allows us to address a range of signaling events, including protein secretion, degradation and trafficking, as well as target translocation between different sub-cellular compartments.
DiscoveRx has also recently release new kinase assays, including ADP Hunter Plus for screening and ADP Quest HS for low activity kinases or other cases where high sensitivity is required.

Description: Hamilton's new MICROLAB® NIMBUS offers the best of both worlds: high density layout iwtha compact footprint. The Nimbus delivers the speed and flexibility expected from Hamilton technology on a scale that will fit most bench tops and environmental hoods.
Hamilton's MICROLAB® STAR series represents a new generation of liquid handling workstations. With the introduction of the STAR-Plus and Scheduling software, Hamilton combines the innovative pipetting technology with a high grade of flexibility. Hamilton also can provide validated solutions for the following applications: protein crystallization, MALDI target spotting, PCR setup, genomic DNA purification, ELISA etc. The key technological innovations implemented in the STAR series are: CORE Tip Attachment Technology, Dynamic Positioning, and Air-filled Liquid Handling.
The Hamilton MICROLAB® STAR expands the high throughput of multichannel liquid handling with a new 384 channel pipetting head. Plate reformatting and reagent dispensing can be accomplished at four times the speed of a 96 channel head. The 384 channel head allows for maximum cross contamination protection by supporting the use of disposable tips in addition to washable needles.
The Hamilton MICROLAB® ST 384 CHANNEL PIPETTING HEAD - The Hamilton MICROLAB® STAR expands the high throughput of multichannel liquid handling with a new 384 channel pipetting head. Plate reformatting and reagent dispensing can be accomplished at four times the speed of a 96 channel head.
The highly configurable and flexible Hamilton MICROLAB® STAR supports multiple arms, each with a multichannel pipetting head.(Figure 1.) Imagine the throughput and flexibility that can be achieved with both the 384 and 96 channel head on a single workstation with the highest on-deck plate density in the industry. Furthermore, multichannel heads on the MICROLAB® STAR can access all positions on the deck thus maximizing deck space and application flexibility and sample throughput AR system's flexibility and throughput can be increased with one of our newest products, the Hamilton high-speed reagent dispenser. The reagent dispenser is designed to perform the high volume dispense steps required by many of today's assays and XNA purification methods without the cross-contamination risk associated with fixed steel needles, or the cost of disposable tips.
