When preparing biological samples, you need a lab assistant you can trust, one that is focused on consistency and reproducible results across 10's and 100's of samples.

The Andrew product family is unique in the liquid handling arena: It consists of portable, ready to use companion robots using conventional pipettes that can be used anywhere with little to no training. 

Automated liquid handlers have become indispensable by virtue of freeing operators for other tasks while providing consistency and reproducibility.

Chemicals should be labelled to show material, nature and degree of hazard, appropriate precautions, and person responsible for the container

Pipettes can be found in almost every laboratory and, if you’re looking to buy one, there are many options— manual or electronic, single or multi-channel. Luckily, a few main considerations can help in deciding whether or not to buy the latest pipette technology.

Phenomenex Inc., a global leader in the research and manufacture of advanced technologies for the separation sciences, announces the publication of a new sample preparation guide and selection tool to help scientists produce cleaner samples for more efficient chromatographic analysis.

INTEGRA has published a new customer video* from the Institute of Clinical Chemistry research group at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), in which researcher Christina Thomas reviews how the VOYAGER multichannel pipette has accelerated their sample screening and genotyping assays.

Water conservation has become a topic of interest in modern lab design. And in keeping up with current market needs, Labconco researched lab water usage and discovered one major sink hole — glass pipet washing.

Automated liquid handling (ALH) systems span the range from semi-automated multichannel pipettors to room-sized systems. The industry is trending toward versatile, modular ALH systems—seemingly for every budget. Likewise, instrumentation, software, and methods have followed the trend toward greater user accessibility.

Now that we have your attention, we have to dash your hopes. This is not a column about Vegas and “what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” kind of fun. It is going to provide vital safety information on one of the most widely used laboratory solvents. The title is derived from what is probably the best-known common use of the term outside laboratories— i.e., a chemical stripper or stripping agent.

INTEGRA Biosciences has launched PIPETGIRL - a new pink version of its popular PIPETBOY acu 2 pipette controller.
