Finding a solution which is suitable for all library sizes, manages the regeneration and replication process and incorporates the ability to report on results, while at the same time saving money, are just some of the challenges sample management and HTS professionals face when implementing a storage management system. This poster highlights RTS Libradexx, an integrated sample library management solution which allows plate management and data tracking to become ‘run of the mill', freeing users to focus on the real challenges of sample management and HTS. RTS Libradexx supports both manual and automated storage solutions and is suitable for all library sizes.

The new technical poster was presented for the first time at SBS Annual Conference and Exhibition in April and is written by Chris Walsh, Julio Maher, Philip Cummings, David Harding and Claire Ridgway of RTS Life Science. This detailed poster discusses how RTS has partnered with a major pharmaceutical company to challenge the current accepted models for compound management and presents an overview of the outcome of this process. In particular, the poster details the increasing use of the Labcyte Echo 550/555 liquid handler by Sample Management and HTS professionals to perform very low liquid transfers.
