Kairos Amino Acid Sample Prep
This basic method provides the core methodology for translating a workflow into OneLab-executable script(s) as an attempt to fully or semi-automate a specific procedure. It demonstrates the benefits of automation and highlights OneLab capabilities and best practices to promote solution adoption, helping transition from manual to a more automated approach. It can be used alone or serves as a building block for a more complex workflow and is easily adaptable to users' requirements.

Kairos T&P, 48 Samples - Andrew+
Protocol for transfer and protein precipitation of samples. Before centrifugation, samples at a concentration of 500 μM and higher can be manually normalized using 950 µL of 0.1 M HCl, if desired.

Kairos T&P, 48 Samples, Normalization - Andrew+
Protocol for transfer and protein precipitation of samples. A 950 μL volume of 0.1 M HCl is dispensed across the entire plate, normalizing all samples prior to centrifugation.

Kairos Derivatization, 48 Samples - Andrew+
Kairos amino acid derivatization protocol for processing 48 samples using the AccQTag Ultra "3X" Derivatization Kit (p/n 186004535) on Andrew+.

Kairos T&P, 96 Samples - Andrew+
Protocol for transfer and protein precipitation of samples. Before centrifugation, samples at a concentration of 500 μM and higher can be manually normalized using 950 µL of 0.1 M HCl, if desired.
