ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It is an immunological assay that is most often used to detect and quantify proteins, antibodies/antigens, viruses, bacteria, and glycoproteins in life science and pharmaceutical laboratories. An ELISA can diagnose many diseases like COVID-19 and allow scientists to examine new drugs to verify their structure and look for potential [...]
The pH measurement of a solution is most often done using electrical probes, which detect the difference between the electrical potential of a standardized probe calibrated in standards that bracket the range of pH to be measured, and the samples. The difference between the electrical potential can be converted to a measure of pH, which [...]
High Throughput Screening Software While microbial colonies have been observed on moldy food since the beginning of time, the invention of the petri dish in 1887 by microbiologist Julius Richard Petri pushed forward the study of bacterial colony morphology. However, what is the definition of colony morphology? Here we will answer that question as well [...]
Hudson Robotics has been a leader in laboratory automation for almost 40 years.While their equipment is some of the best available with tremendous dependability, cost savings, and versatility, the Hudson software elevates Hudson above all competitors. A magically economical, time-saving machine is not so magical if getting it to work requires an IT specialist or [...]
A map of an ELISA plate is essentially a template of the 96 wells found on a standard ELISA plate. With 96 wells, each containing an individual sample, it is critical to track exactly what has been placed in each well. An ELISA plate map helps to do exactly that. An ELISA plate map is [...]
Did you know that the first microscope was essentially just two types of lenses stacked on one another? Before the invention of even a barebones microscope in the 16th century, scientists often relied on the power of observation via the naked eye to come to their hypothesis. Bacterial colonies, for example, were identified based on [...]
An automated pH meter is a device that measures a sample from each of the wells in a microplate plate and measures the pH. Most commonly used are 96 well microplates, although other microplates such as 48 and 24 well plates are used. Throughout the entire process, there is no technician involvement, and when the [...]
Stability testing of pharmaceutical products such as medications in pills, creams, liquids, etc., is a critical characteristic of any pharmaceutical agent. Stability not only indicates how long medication is effective when sitting on a shelf but patient safety can also be threatened when some medications break down over time or when exposed to light or [...]
Microplate Washer ELISA For over 100 years, pH has been an invaluable tool for measuring the acidity of solutions. Based on a logarithmic scale from 0 - 14, the pH scale made what was once a difficult calculation, an easy to understand measure of free hydrogen protons (H+) in a solution. This simple scale is [...]
Microplate Washer ELISA Bacterial colonies are an important component of microbiology that remains relevant to this day and probably will always stay that way. These colonies are used for medical research, development of pharmaceuticals, use in the food industry (the safe ones, naturally) and more. Once a bacterial colony is cultivated, the first thing to [...]
