Development of a robotic metabolomics sample preparation platform - AUTOMET

Department Name: UNLISTED
Abstract
Abstracts are not currently available in GtR for all funded research. This is normally because the abstract was not required at the time of proposal submission, but may be because it included sensitive information such as personal details.
Technical Summary
The project will design, build and test robotic systems to process and randomise plant samples for metabolomics analysis. Operations to be automated include sample weighing, solvent extraction and sample preparation for NMR, GC-MS and ESI analysis. Once commisioned the robotics will be used in a number of HTP plant analyses.
