Nottingham Uni strikes laboratory equipment sales deal

The University of Nottingham’s Centre for Biomolecular Science has struck a sales deal with TTP Labtech, the global developer of high-spec automated laboratory equipment, that will allow the University to generate important commercial growth potential.

TTP Labtech is providing the university with its comPOUND® sample storage system and comPILER® high throughput, tube-to-plate processing system, which will provide storage for the university’s Managed Chemical Compound Collection (MCCC), with more than 100,000 diverse drug-like small molecules for high throughput compound screening.

The centre’s director, Professor Peter Fischer, said that the deal will allow the university to further its strong track record in pharmaceutical science research and development.

“The long-term vision is to provide a unique compound collection attractive to academic and pharma partners – especially SMEs without their own collections,” he said. “We were looking for an integrated compound storage and handling system that would increase throughput, maintain long-term compound integrity, improve reliability with complete inventory control and unattended operation.”

Simon Tullett, TTP’s product manager for comPOUND and comPILER, added “We are delighted to be supporting a venture such as the MCCC. Our systems readily integrated with the existing lab set-up and have been operational for a year”.
