Automation solutions offer a great alternative to laborintensive manual processes. Liquid handling automation eliminates human errors and process inconsistencies over extended periods of time, resulting in an increased robustness compared to manual processes.

A good system for chemical management begins with a complete inventory of the laboratory's chemicals and a material safety data sheet (MSDS) collection for those materials.

The Thermo Scientific iCAP 6000 Series ICP-OES and Thermo Scientific iTEVA Software are ideal for the analysis of trace elements in pharmaceutical products.

The choices that need to be made when selecting reagents and optimizing assay protocols for RNAi-based screens.

Delivering interfering RNA into whole organisms (vs. cells) presents even greater challenges, but the potential rewards are also high.

It is not much of a stretch to say that the 1961 introduction of the plunger-operated pipette revolutionized laboratory work.

While the science behind ratiometric photometry for volume verification is complex, Maine-based Artel has been using it to lead the way in liquid handling quality assurance technology for the past 28 years.

Excessive background from endogenous sample matrix components has always been of great concern in bioanalysis, and has become paramount today with the need for decreasing analytical run times.
