Automation of Synthetic Biology Processes: Some Staples to Consider

Synthetic biology refers to an interdisciplinary branch of bioengineering in which scientists create or change biological systems. Currently, most synthetic biology applications relate to the metabolites produced by genetically modified organisms. For example, instead of yeast that ferments sugar into alcohol, consider a yeast that transforms agricultural waste into surfactants for cleaning products.Synthetic biology relies [...]

Liquid Handling Devices You Need In Your Laboratory

Every laboratory needs an automated liquid handling machine and other devices. Liquid handling is an important part of any process, whether you’re running a full-scale multifunction workstation or are using simply one pipet. Liquid handling devices and machines have come a long way—the first system for liquid handling was presented in 1875 by Thaddeus M. [...]

Automation Opportunities in a Microbiology Lab

Automation in microbiology offers very distinct benefits: first, laboratory robotics and automation provide accuracy and efficiency, which is a benefit when many samples must be analyzed. However, there has also been a lack of staffing within the past several years. As of 2018, it was estimated that 17.4 percent of laboratory staff was expected to [...]

Automated ELISA and Its Applications

ELISA, which stands for Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay, is a type of immunological assay. Antigens from a sample are placed onto a surface, followed by an antibody in its most basic form. The antibody then must link to an enzyme, removing unbound antibodies. Finally, the enzyme’s substrate is added right before the detection phase. ELISA has [...]

What Does a Microplate Reader Measure and Other Microplate Questions

Microplate readers measure changes in biochemical, cellular or physical properties in the wells of a plate. Microplate readers are designed for a standard 96 well plate, but there are some plate readers available for other plate sizes. As lab automation increases, adherence to a standard microplate size is critical so that automated systems can handle [...]

All About pH Meter Calibration Solutions: What, Why, and How

pH is an integral aspect to many scientific disciplines, where most scientists will likely consider pH at some point in their research or industry. For instance, did you know corals cannot properly grow their calcium skeletons when pH is too low? Ocean acidification directly threatens coral species, affecting all life in coral reefs, even microbes! [...]
