This collaborative solution was introduced at the recent American Association of Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting

Trajan Scientific and Medical “Trajan” announced the acquisition of the business of LEAP Technologies (NC, USA) on Apr. 4

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.

Solid phase extraction (SPE) serves as the front end to numerous analytic modalities, particularly but not limited to gas and liquid chromatography.

Our guide to purchasing an automated liquid handling system for your lab.

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

Exosomes purification and analyses comprise a fast evolving research area; more than 70% of published research on exosomes has been done within the last six years.

Dr. Nathaniel Hentz is assistant director of the analytical lab at the Golden LEAF Biomanufacturing Training and Education Center (BTEC), where he develops bioanalytical assays in support of the various biomanufacturing processes taught at BTEC. Since 2008, Dr. Hentz has been responsible for developing and teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, industry short courses, and government (FDA and BARDA) training courses, with a focus on assay development and validation, quality control, and liquid-handling performance.

Sample preparation can be a labor-intensive and expensive process. What are the factors that should be considered when evaluating the possible transition from manual to semi-automated or fully automated systems? How do they impact your return on investment?
