Waters® NuGenesis® Lab Management System uniquely combines synergistic data, workflow and sample management capabilities to support the entire product lifecycle from discovery through manufacturing. This user-centric platform encompasses NuGenesis SDMS, compliance-ready data repository, NuGenesis ELN, a flexible analytical electronic laboratory notebook, and NuGenesis Sample Management.

Mechanical sample lysis is rapidly becoming the preferred sample preparation method in life science labs for the isolation of DNA, RNA, proteins, metabolites and other small molecules because the elimination of chemicals, enzymes, and detergents minimizes the introduction of potential inhibitors to downstream processes. The FastPrep-24 5G™ (Fig. 1) is the newest innovation in beat-beaters and produces the fastest lysis of even the most difficult samples.

Filters vs. Monochromators - When using a microplate reader, these are the two options to filter light into monochromatic wavelengths. Filters offered higher performance because of greater light transmission and wider bandwidths; monochromators offered greater flexibility, no new filters were needed for each new assay.

Electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs), one component of a lab’s information infrastructure, help laboratories capture and manage knowledge, streamline data management, protect intellectual property and foster collaboration. Both non-specific/generic ELNs (which compete directly against paper notebooks) & application/task-specific ELNs exist, each with their own fans.
