Pick cell

Directed evolution relies on the analysis of large numbers of clones to enable the discovery of rare variants with unproved function. In order to analyze these large libraries, methods of screening or selection have been developed, many of which use specialized equipment or automation. These range from the use of multichannel pipettes, all the way up to robotics, depending on the level of investment [59]. Specialized robotic systems are available to perform tasks such as colony picking, cell culture, protein purification, and cell-based assays.

There are many other factors that should be considered when picking an HCS system. In particular, software ease of use is paramount. When assessing ease of use, consider the ease of assay development, the flexibility of the picking cell populations and responses, whether the software architecture is open or closed, and the availability of... 

To allow efficient extraction of intact mRNA, it is recommended that alcohol fixatives be used in lieu of cross-linking agents such as paraformaldehyde. In our experience protocols that have been developed for studying paraformaldehyde-fixed paraffin-embedded archival specimens in tandem with RNA amplifications produce low yields of RNA from microdissected brain regions and picked cells. Fixation of tissue with methanol or ethanol preserves immu-noreactivity and mRNA in many cases. Accordingly, we immerse...

Pan et al. [150] found that in cultures of Prorocentrum spp. toxin production stops in the dark, and Zhou and Fritz [151] showed that OA is mainly localized in the peripheral chloroplasts. These observations led to the conclusion that toxin production is light-mediated. Nevertheless, high estimates of OAs per cell were obtained in a few isolated analyses of the heterotrophic D. rotundata [152]. In cultures of Prorocentrum hoffinannianum, toxin production rates are similar to growth rates, with maximum values observed during the exponential phase [153,154], but other studies show that production continues in the stationary phase after division has ceased [155,156]. Increased toxin content per cell in incubations of picked cells of D. acuta and D. acuminata was interpreted as a response to nitrogen and/or phosphorus limitation [157], but a similar increase was observed in cells of D. acuta maintained a few days in untreated seawater from the same location where they were collected [36].
