HiWi/ Research student / Thesis: Developing protocols on a liquid handling system (pipetting robot) for lab-based assays

24.04.2024, Abschlussarbeiten, Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten

We seek a highly motivated student interested in lab automation and biotechnological assays at the Chair of Bioseparation Engineering in Garching.

The project: Laboratory automation is a time-saving but challenging task. Our Tecan Evo gives us infinitive options to take over routine pipetting tasks. And by this, implement some degree of automation in our lab. ;) The robot can work on different pipetting tasks and assays using scripted protocols. However, the processes have to be well-defined and designed. This will be your task to work on. Examples are assays like total protein assays or binding experiments. Biotech knowledge is an advantage but not a must – coming from other disciplines, you can gain knowledge in this field.

Your profile: - Studies not relevant - High interest in automation - A biotech background is a plus - Eager to learn new things - Creative thinking - Motivated to solve problems - Independent work style

The task in short: - Develop protocols for automatable assay - Program pipetting schemes on the Tecan Evo150
