Abstract
The complexity of combinatorial screens explodes as the number of reagents increases. This talk addresses the challenges of planning experiments with up to 50 individually dispensed ingredients per well. The heart of our system is a new software package that automates the planning of complex liquid handling operations. We demonstrate combinatorial assays on the MANTIS® can detect metabolic interactions in bacteria with complex growth requirements.
