BioTrove says 1 million cell assays per day possible

July 31, 2002 — BioTrove Inc., a Cambridge, Mass., developer of microfluidic devices, announced completion of a study of its Living Chip high-throughput screening tool, according to a news release. The company said it found that one operator can perform up to a million nanoliter-volume assays per day.

The experiment used the Living Chip-25K, which is a high-density array of 24,576 reaction containers, each of which holds 35 nanoliters of fluid. Tom Morrison, BioTrove’s director of biomolecular discovery, said the company intends to apply the technology to the discovery and optimization of antibodies, peptides and enzymes.
