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 [...]
An Overview of Current Liquid Handling Technology
Lab automation has skyrocketed since the first fully automated lab was established in the 1980s. Though most prominent in pharmaceutical and medical testing labs, automation has been consistently growing in other industrial and research laboratories, including in food science, agriculture, and environmental analytical labs.Liquid handling technology, in particular, has experienced [...]
Key Components of Efficient Automated Liquid Handling Workstations
Lab technicians measure, dispense, and mix liquids every day. Liquid handling is a key element of scientific research in various industries, from microbiology to food manufacturing to cosmetics. Common microplate sizes range from single -384 wells and beyone, which could take minutes to fill if done by hand. As a [...]
Uses Of An Automated Liquid Dispenser In The Laboratory
Components of a pH Meter In 1961, J.J. Rodriguez of Berkeley, California, introduced a patent for an "improved buret." He designed it to dispense liquids like a buret and said it will provide “a novel and improved buret capable of use in pipetting.” Fast-forward to today. An automated liquid handling/dispensing [...]
