Welcome to Northwestern University's High
Throughput Analysis Laboratory (HTA)
The HTA Laboratory is a shared, open-access
resource established in 2004 on the Northwestern University campus. The
HTA provides academic, industrial, and private researchers with equipment
and expertise for the development and execution of high throughput biological
analysis and screening. The facility is fully equipped with
state-of-the-art liquid handling, plate detection and automated microbial
culture handling capabilities.
The High Throughput Analysis Facility routinely performs:
- automated colony picking
- Yeast two-hybrid analysis
- Synthetic Genetic Array (SGA) analysis
- microbial library replication and rearraying
- enzyme- and cell-based assays
- hit picking and library reformatting
- HT solid phase extraction
- large-scale pipetting/plate filling
The facility also assists researchers in developing
HT nucleic acid purification and cloning protocols and develops novel
automated methods to increase assay and sample preparation throughput.
