European Biopharmaceutical Review

'Robot' is a Czech word meaning worker, from the play RUR: Rossums' Universal Robots by the Bohemian writer Karel Capek. The robot has since become an inspiration for science fiction writers and for engineers. Of course the science fiction vision of a robot is a mechanical man, but the reality we see in industry is simply a robotic arm. This is a versatile programmable manipulator, an integration of mechanics, electronics and software, designed interdependently to produce the mechanical equivalent of the computer - an undedicated machine unable to do anything until we program it.
In the pharmaceutical lab it is even less than that definition; the term 'robot' being applied to programmable liquid handlers. Drug development requires the screening of hundreds or thousands of samples and it is in this field that the robot arm is a vital tool. Such an automated screening system is called a 'high-throughput screening' (HTS) system.

PROTEIN:PROTEIN INTERACTION ANALYSIS
IBA GmbH
Groth et al., 2007 and Jasencakova et al., 2010
Protein:protein-interactions (PPI) govern almost all important processes
in living organisms. Thus, their rapid and accurate determination and
investigation is a major challenge in life sciences. The extremely
efficient and fast One-STrEP (Twin-Strep) system is suitable for the
isolation of functional protein complexes and subsequent mass
spectrometry analysis leads to the identification of protein complex
components (Junttila et al., 2005) as it is shown in the following
studies.
