Introduction to the Echo® Liquid Handler and Acoustic TXTL Circuit Optimization

Meet Rich Ellson, founder and CTO of Labcyte as he guides you through an introduction to acoustic liquid handling. This will be followed by a hands on activity, run by Jared Bailey of Labcyte, exploring cell-free transcription-translation systems (TXTL). Transcription-translation systems (TXTL) provide a tantalizing route to the creation of biological circuits. An optimized amount of protein production within the circuit is needed for the circuit to function correctly, which presents a hurdle for traditional technology. Arbor Biosciences® myTXTL® reagent paired with a Labcyte® Echo® 525 Liquid Handler allows for a consistent reagent source to be paired with a liquid handler capable of delivering accuracy in the nanoliter scale. Come view the two cutting edge technologies used in a lab setting demonstration using a fluorescent protein readout.

Please arrive early and give yourself time to check in with security on the main level.  The workshop and lab will be hosted on the 2nd floor.
