Helping Enable Discovery
Thank you to all who are diligently working on the front lines as we, a global community, fight the COVID-19 pandemic. Medical research is working hard to find effective therapeutics such as antiviral drugs including vaccines, peptide inhibitors, nucleoside analogues and monoclonal antibodies. Others are developing in vitro assays for research and clinical testing. BioTek is a registered medical device manufacturer of IVD and Research Use Only microplate readers, washers, dispensers, automated microscopes and imagers. These instruments help to accelerate and automate the processing of thousands of samples. These instruments help to accelerate and automate the processing of thousands of samples.

Live SARS-CoV-2 Research: Interlocking Pieces Working Together (MultiFlo FX, Cytation 1, BioStack, 405 LS)
9-June-20
When Dr. Robert Davey started researching Ebola virus drug development at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) at Galveston back in 2008, he had no idea just how keenly his work would prepare him to play a pivotal role in researching treatments for a very different global pandemic. In fact, a number of pieces fit together to support his current role in screening small molecule compounds that may be used in the fight against SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
