The Yeast Halo Assay

Greetings,

I've been receiving some questions regarding the yeast halo assay that we use at UCR. We use a modification of the High Throughput Yeast Halo assay as described here:

I will post the fine details of the procedure soon.

As well pictures of the Halo plates are shown on older blog posts below.

Through the roof

I am happy to announce, that with the IGERT purchase of a 384 pin tool. The daily throughput of the Biomek on the yeast halo assay is 140,000 compounds!

Now only if we had that many on campus, and a technician to load the robot and score the plates.
