The HTS is a detachable unit that allows 96 and 384 well plates to be loaded onto any advanced BD Biosciences analyser, (Fortessas or CantoII). In ‘Normal’ mode, the machine will typically take 44 minutes to run a plate; under ‘High Throughput’ mode, this is reduced to 15 minutes. In each mode the unit uses separator bubbles of air to keep each well/sample from carrying over.
Use of the HTS requires a separate training session, please contact the hub to arrange this
