The Robotics shared resource laboratory is equipped with high-throughput liquid handling platforms, capable of automating benchtop laboratory protocols. The robots have been routinely used for assays, plate replication, transformations and yeast 1 and yeast 2 hybrid screens.

Within the Bioreactor shared resource laboratory we are able to optimise the culture conditions in small volume (~3mL) and scale up to 7L vessels. An integrated robotic platform enables media preparation and subsampling/dosing during fermentation.
