BIND Automation >> High Throughput Integrations
Typical HTS environments involve the integration of robotics, liquid handling devices and detectors with advanced scheduling software. Because of its small footprint and open architecture, the BIND Reader easily integrates in these physical environments. SRU’s BIND Automation software provides an easy communication link for scheduling software. The BIND Reader’s unique ability to analyze a 1536-well plate in 45 seconds makes it capable of processing hundreds of thousands of wells per day.

BIND Automation High Throughput Features
  • Small Instrument Footprint
  • Flexible Integration with Open Architecture Screening Environment
  • Compatible with a Variety of Liquid Handling Platforms
Robot Compatibility

Scheduling Software Compatibility

The BIND Reader operates within an HTS environment like any other device controlled by the scheduler.
In typical high-throughput automation environments, a scheduler controls hardware and software from a variety of third-party suppliers (as depicted in the diagram on the right.)  

SRU Biosystems has drivers and a complete and well-documented Application Programming Interface (API) to work with the most advanced schedulers.  

Drivers currently exist for the following schedulers:  
  • Overlord2™ (Process Analysis & Automation)
  • VWorks (Agilent/Velocity11)
  • Polara® (ThermoFisher Scientific)
  • Cellario™ (HighRes Biosolutions) (Under development)

SRU Biosystems offers a complete software package, called BIND Automation, that enables the BIND Reader to integrate in these HTS environments. BIND Automation interfaces with the scheduler, controls the BIND Reader, tracks plates by barcode label, and exports data for analysis.
