Technology: Articulated Robotics Application: Automate the distribution of radioactive drugs
Mallinckrodt Medical Inc. which specializes in the field of diagnostic medical products, automated the distribution of radioactive drugs to overcome a number of operational and safety issues.
Traditionally the preparation of these doses has been entirely done by hand. Consequently, safety was an issue with the potential of radiation exposure for the lab technician. Furthermore, the work was slow and automation was seen as a way to speed up the process, while providing accurate quantities of radioactive drugs within critical dose limits.
The solution was a CRS A251 robotic system integrated by CRIQ (Centre Recherche Industriel du Quebec). Mallinckrodt has realized the following benefits of using a CRS Robot:
Cycle times are now only 45 to 52 seconds per dose, Technicians face greatly reduced radiation exposure, Labour content and thus costs in producing a sample have been reduced, Reduced training costs, Measurable improvement in quality.
Mallinckrodt is very happy with the system and is considering adding a second system to cope with the growing production demand.

Dna Amplification Workstation
Automates the amplification of your DNA samples. The workstation performs a complete amplification protocol including plate identification through bar code reading, pipetting of primer and PCR reagent mix, plate sealing, thermocycling and plate pooling. If required, plate shaking can be performed at any time. To increase capacity additional thermocycler units can be added to the basic system. After the process, the plates will be kept refrigerated to avoid any degration of samples.
-
Dna Purification Workstation
Automates all of the reaction steps and conditions involved in the completion of the Solid-Phase Reversible Immobilization (SPRI)procedure. SPRI of M13 DNA plus plasmid isolation or purification can be divided into three parts: magnetic binding of the analytes, washing of the bound material, and resuspension or elution of the DNA from the magnetic beads.
-
Plate Replication System
Fully automated system for the replication of mother plates into multiple daughter plates. The flexibility of the system allows you to perform any necessary step in your replication protocol. Key features of the systems are barcode reading, volume tracking, serial dilutions, robotic tip change or tip washing and DMSO addition. The flexibilty of the POLARA software and the ability to exchange racks enables the fast adapatation of the system to new protocols.
