Select - in use at GSK within the HTS environment
  SelecT is in use at many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical companies.
  The following has been kindly supplied by M Montouté at GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) and formed part of her presentation at ESACT 2003. It provides an illustration of how SelecT is being used within the HTS environment.
  slide from GSK
   
  “SelecT has been implemented by GSK to support the cell culture needs of HTS. It is used to provide consistent, high quality cells for various receptor-based assays, including a lipid receptor HTS campaign. This reporter gene assay utilises the very slow growing HepG2 cell line and the data illustrates comparisons made between SelecT and manual cell culture over a two month period.
  Due to consistent handling the cells cultured on SelecT provided better assay quality, demonstrable by higher Z’ values, whereas a human operator can tire within increasing numbers of batches.”
  GSK considered that this screen would not be possible without the SelecT system.
