Hi All, We installed the HTS about a month ago and we have tested it for DNA analysis as well as immunocytometry applications. In general, it works well and the software is very similar to the BD multi-well sampler which came out a couple years ago. The biggest advantage is the oeprator can set up a plate to run in HTS and go off to do another experiment while the plate is being acquired. The average time for acquiring a 96 well plate, for us, is roughly 20 min. in HT mode or 45 min. in STD mode. However, in HT mode, we can only acquire up to 10ul of sample/well and the cell density in well may affect the resolution of the data. Hope this help and I am looking forward to the opinion of other users. Albert Tai Exelixis Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gary A.
