High Throughput Assay System

Cleaver Scientific has introduced the Compac-50 High Throughput Comet Assay system. Developed in collaboration with the Oxidative Stress Group at the University of Leicester, the system’s design enables simultaneous electrophoresis of up to 50 assay slides saving considerable lab space and reducing slide handling time by up to two-thirds when compared to previous standard methods.

This would equate to a significant time-saving of up to 90 % when handling 50 Assay slides. The system incorporates a methodology by which multiple slides may be simultaneously manipulated, and undergo electrophoresis, in batches of 25 rather than individually. This decreases assay time by 60 %, and offers users the benefit of an electrophoresis tank with a substantially smaller footprint, and more uniform orientation of gels during electrophoresis, than is currently commercially available.
