TTP Labtech Technology supports drug discovery research at University of Nottingham

TTP Labtech, global developer and manufacturer of high quality, robust and innovative automated laboratory equipment, is enabling a successful new venture at the University of Nottingham’s Centre for Biomolecular Science, with its comPOUND sample storage system and comPILER high throughput, tube-to-plate processing system.

The fully automated state-of-the-art facility for the Managed Chemical Compound Collection (MCCC) provides storage for more than 100,000 diverse drug-like small molecules for high throughput compound screening. The facility is key, not only to the university’s drug discovery research but also provides services to pharmaceutical and biotech industry partners, generating important growth potential for the University.

The compound modular system provides a compact and secure, fully automated storage and dispensing facility for chemical and biological compound libraries. Up to 100,000 1.4 mL tubes or 200,000 0.5 mL microtubes can be stored per unit in a temperature controlled, dry, inert, hermetically sealed environment; ensuring sample integrity. Sample storage in microtube format allows cherry picking of only the samples of interest and mitigates risks of sample degradation from unnecessary freeze/ thaw cycles, inherent with plate-based systems.
