There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Lunch ‘n Learn at Georgia Tech: Automating Microbial Screening: Intelligent Analysis and Management of Colonies
Alison Glaser, Biotherapeutic Application Scientist and Randy Milano, Bioresearch Application Scientist, Molecular Devices
March 9, 2016; 11:00 - 12:00PM
Abstract: More than 50% of emerging infectious diseases arecaused by bacteria. Ongoing evolution of bacterial variants, increased incidence of drug-resistant microbes, as well as various socioeconomic and demographic reasons for increased contact with previously unfamiliar microbes all emphasize the need for ongoing research to control or destroy harmful pathogens.
Learn how you can enhance your work with microbial systems when detecting, screening, or picking colonies using automated platforms. In addition to colony picking systems, we provide a comprehensive range of microplate readers. Whether needing to read absorbance, measure kinetics, obtain a range of fluorescence readouts, or combine several modes of detection, an extensive panel of solutions is available.
