Laboratory Automation Technologies (LAT)

The Laboratory Automation Technologies (LAT) is a Core Research Facility (CRF) at DZNE in Bonn and was initiated in 2010. The LAT has established a state-of-the-art automated screening platform consisting of more than thirty different instruments under cleanroom (ISO-5) containment level. The platform can be used for fully automated multi parametric image-based assay and all types of common biochemical and homogenous cellular assay approaches. The LAT facility is the repository of chemical and genomic libraries, including 80k small molecules, murine and human genome-wide siRNA libraries and human miRNA libraries. Internal and external scientists can use these libraries for their screening projects. The LAT work in close collaboration with the IDAF for image analysis, statistical computing and data mining and the LMF for advanced microscopy.

Our LAT staff has a broad scientific and technical background in High-Content Screening, laboratory automation and statistical computing to ideally support your projects. The LAT operates on a cost recovery basis.
