Intellectual Scheduler – The next generation of high-throughput laboratory automation
The Labcyte Intellectual Scheduler is an event-based scheduler with built-in intelligence for maximum throughput based on device availability and task priority. Developed by Labcyte, it is the core of the POD™ 810 plate assembler, tying together multiple assay plate preparation devices for cohesive operation.
Users can configure devices, create protocols, schedule runs and monitor run progress with the intuitive graphical user interface. No software programming or lengthy scripting is required to add or modify protocols.
How it works
The underlying .NET-based architecture of the technology automates task scheduling and reprioritizing according to a series of resource verifications and built-in logic. Obviously required tasks such as delidding before use and relidding when done happen automatically, with no separate commands needed.
Applications
The core protocol execution engine of the Intellectual Scheduler is identical to all Echo liquid handler applications software. It automates plate replication, cherry picking, and high-throughput dose-response curve generation for assay-ready plates. Runs can be started right away or scheduled for a later time, and multiple runs can be queued in the scheduler for sequential execution. The flexible run scheduling feature of the Intellectual Scheduler maximizes device efficiency.
The Intellectual Scheduler is the key to increased productivity and faster return on investment.
