Molecular Devices said last week that it has begun to ship the SynchroMax ET plate-handling robot, the latest addition to its line of microplate readers and liquid-handling systems.

According to the company, the SynchroMax ET provides walk-away automation for ELISA workstations and cell-based screening units that include the company’s SpectraMax or Gemini microplate reader, AquaMax dispenser, or Embla washer. Researchers can run up to 320 microplates in 96-, 384-, or 1,536-well formats.

Kalorama Information, a life sciences research provider, has released a new report entitled “Early Stage Drug Discovery 2004: Combi-chem and HTS Revisited.”

The report can be purchased for $2,995 at the following web address: http://www.kaloramainformation.com/pub/941708.html.

Research and Markets has announced the availability of its “Ion Channel Drug Discovery — Therapeutic Opportunities & Technology Progress” report.

The report identifies and analyzes advancements in ion-channel-targeted drug development and new technology. More information can be found at http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c2822.
