What does the screening facility staff do?
Screening facility personnel schedule all screens, execute all compound transfers, and train screeners in use of equipment. They also maintain and repair the equipment and carry out technology development projects. The screening facility staff do NOT read assays or perform any steps other than compound transfer, some liquid handling, and cherry picks. Please consider whether you will need assistance from someone in your group for certain stages of your assay preparation and reading, and plan ahead so that you are not shorthanded at a critical point.
