Does anyone have a spare copy to run it? Tecan no longer has it available. === Please understand that Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:01:18 GMT rushingtx_01 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6507 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6507 Gregory, We have had luck running room temp air (68F) with a fan for thawing 1mL septa sealed Matrix Tubes in a 96 well rack format. We basically use a large Tue, 17 Nov 2009 17:01:02 GMT kazuto_hashimoto http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6506 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6506 Dear Gregory Ryan, FluidX is best solution for you... http://www.fluidx.co.uk/html/xtt-96.html Best rgds, Hashimoto Tue, 17 Nov 2009 05:21:47 GMT GregoryRRyan http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6505 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6505 Dear colleagues, We would like to relieve a small bottleneck in thawing racks of compounds. Passive thawing even at moderately elevated temps is fairly slow Fri, 13 Nov 2009 15:30:22 GMT jonathansrosenblum http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6504 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6504 OK, I'm going to answer myself. I have had lots of great interactions with people both directly through email and through the Group. So I don't want anyone Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:44:16 GMT Amer El-hage http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6503 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6503 Hi Chris, It will be hard to make one vacuum system with many good suction nozzles. It requires good fluid engineering and vacuum system knowledge. If you need Wed, 11 Nov 2009 20:10:44 GMT Gregory Lowe http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6502 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6502 Hi Chris, Are your current systems automated with a robot? I have made systems before that used robotics to feed and control the manifolds and can help you in Wed, 11 Nov 2009 03:44:07 GMT Christopher Rieckenberg http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6501 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6501 All, I work in a production lab that uses vacuum manifolds. We are currently using five vacuum pumps with five manifolds apiece. This is getting unwieldy and Thu, 05 Nov 2009 15:04:09 GMT ixi_steffen http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6500 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6500 Dear Colleagues Does anyone have experiences with the lab on the chip technology and/or e.g. Raindance? Who is using that in reality for routinely cellular Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:38:43 GMT jliscouski http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6499 http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/lrig-discussion/message/6499 We've completed the third course in the initial portion of our program. The courses currently available are: 1) NEW -- Introduction to Laboratory Automation 2)
