Cell, biology

Quite often the profiling group initiates the activities of compound management and coordinate the preparation of biological material from cell biology. This may require one to three 

While the departmental structure varies from company to company and often from site to site, the workload of getting compounds through this process typically breaks down into a few defined areas of functional specialization. Each of these groups have 

In addition to having tools to aid in the tracking of sample location for retrieval, it is important to monitor sample volumes and to trigger notification when they are critically low. For example, some departments implement consumption-triggered logistics to switch to a rationing mode to limit their consumption. Feedback is required to request more samples to replenish their stock when larger supplies exist or can be re-synthesized. 

The vast majority of facilities maintain their cells manually, with several technicians working diligently in front of biological safety cabinets. Even with the best planning, this becomes difficult to scale when some cell-handling steps must occur over the weekend. Some facilities have turned to automation to maintain their standard cell lines taking some of the routine burden off skilled technicians and effectively achieving 24/7 operation when fully functional. 

An alternative approach for alleviating these logistical issues, that may be amendable to some assay, is to use assay-ready frozen stocks. Cells frozen at high concentration would be seeded into assay plates and used later that day or the next. The build-up of frozen stock reserves is then independent of current demand and can even be purchased directly from suppliers. At least one such supplier has taken a step further by also providing ready-to-use assay plates with cells frozen within. By simply adding media it is possible to revitalize the cells and run your assay within hours [2].

The methods have in turn launched the new fields of nanoscience and nanoteclmology, in which the manipulation and characterization of nanometre-scale structures play a crucial role. STM and related methods have also been applied with considerable success in established areas, such as tribology [2], catalysis [3], cell biology [4] and protein chemistry [4], extending our knowledge of these fields into the nanometre world they have, in addition, become a mainstay of surface analytical laboratories, in the worlds of both academia and industry.
