Automation
Monochromator-based reader for UV-Vis absorbance, top/ bottom fluorescence and luminescence assays can be upgraded to a “hybrid” reader with the addition of a highperformance filter module.
Microplate readers are used extensively in the pharmaceutical industry for high-throughput drug screening and in biology labs for enzyme assays, immunoassays, binding assays, protein and cell assays, ELISAs, and biomolecule concentration measurements.
Thermo Scientific Orbitor RS has been designed as one of the most reliable microplate movers in its class.
This guide will take a look at the evolution of three main areas of microplate technology–instrumentation, applications and the plates themselves.
Take a look around your laboratory. Now imagine it without any automated equipment. What would your productivity be like in a facility where all the work was done manually, without the benefits of any automation?
Microtiter plates have become common labware in life science and medicine. Automated systems employing microplates in biological and chemical assays may consist of liquid dispensers, plate washers, mixers, readers, sealers, labelers, shakers, incubators and storage.
Liquid handling has a pivotal role in a wide range of experimental applications with researchers worldwide depending on a variety of different pipetting methods on a daily basis.
The steadily escalating cost of the drug discovery process means companies are continuously looking for ways to increase process and cost efficiency.
When it comes to successfully managing a laboratory, the challenge is to think as a business manager and as a scientist at the same time.
Many relatively simple industrial or laboratory processes that require control of flow or pressure can be greatly improved with automation.
Regardless of what stage your lab is in, planning is essential to the successful application of automation and information technologies.
