Automation of CALUX Reporter Gene Assay on the Microlab STAR

CALUX® reporter gene assays are a powerful tool for detecting endocrine-disrupting chemicals through receptor-mediated gene expression. By integrating BioDetection Systems’ CALUX® kits with the Hamilton Microlab® STAR liquid handling platform, laboratories can automate the entire assay workflow—enhancing reproducibility, throughput, and efficiency.

High-Throughput Assay Automation for Endocrine Screening

The Microlab® STAR automates critical steps in the CALUX® workflow, including reagent dispensing, sample handling, and plate processing. This reduces manual labor, minimizes variability, and ensures consistent assay performance across batches.

Reliable and Scalable Workflow for Regulatory Testing

Designed for environmental and food safety labs, the automated CALUX® solution supports routine screening of water, soil, food, and biological samples. The system’s modular design and flexible software allow for easy scaling to meet evolving testing demands.

Enhanced Efficiency and Traceability

With features like barcode scanning, liquid level detection, and intuitive scheduling, the Microlab® STAR streamlines operations while maintaining full traceability. This is essential for labs operating under strict regulatory standards.
