In modern science and pharmaceutical laboratories, tiny amounts of liquid must be transferred many times to perform everything from genetic testing to drug screens. As science has improved, the amount of liquid needed for accurate testing has been reduced to low microliter and even nanoliter amounts. Trying to transfer these very small quantities fully and [...]
Laboratory automation is one of the most important breakthroughs to occur in this century. As a result, Laboratory Automation has become more popular than ever and is increasingly becoming the norm for serious scientists everywhere. As the benefits continue to accrue and cost savings multiply, there are fewer reasons than ever why anyone should hesitate [...]
As of April 8, 2021, approximately 154,000,000 people worldwide have been fully vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. This represents 2 percent of the world’s population, leaving 49 out of every 50 people still susceptible to the virus and its potentially deadly illness.Consequently, testing for the coronavirus and using all public safety protocols [...]
Processes That Integrate Pipetting Robots On January 9, 2020, the World Health Organization announced 59 patients in Wuhan, China, with unknown pneumonia that appeared to be related to a novel form of the coronavirus. In less than 15 months, the world went from 59 cases to over 132,000,000 cases and more than 2,870,000 deaths from [...]
The art of pipetting precise amounts is a skill that is prized by many scientists, but it is, in fact an art that can be turned into science through the use of pipetting robots.When used as part of a more complex automated liquid handling system, pipetting robots can measure up reagents much faster than any [...]
For many life science labs, establishing fully-automated PCR systems can really increase efficiency and reduce cost in the long run. The key to ensuring that the lab is really getting the maximum output out of PCR robots is simple but important: choosethe right equipment for every step of the process.Below, we break down the different [...]
Liquid reagents and samples make the bulk of materials that life science labs use. Therefore, it's important to have effective liquid handling systems in the lab. Automated liquid handling robots are a great way to speed up lab processes, improve accuracy and precision, and reduce human error.Before you set up an automated liquid handling workstation [...]
