Operational Impact
Antha enabled the digital to physical transition of the DBTL cycle, automating the process and ensuring data was structured appropriately for machine learning workflows. | |
The Station B platform facilitated the combinatorial design of genetic devices, which were then physically executed on liquid handling automation platforms controlled by Antha. | |
Antha's optimised Construct Assembly workflows enabled rapid and flexible programming of liquid handling platforms, driving the physical execution of genetic construct assemblies and subsequent automated transformation and plating out of transformants. | |
Quantitative Benefit
The end-to-end physical liquid handling steps for construct assembly, transformation, and plating out for twelve designed constructs took 50 minutes. | |
Antha's pre-optimised Construct Assembly workflow allowed DNA parts to be assembled in as little as 30 minutes. | |
The automated workflows produced between 50 and 500 colonies upon transformation and plating out. | |
