Managing the pace of technological change that defines next-generation sequencing (NGS) isn’t just an issue for NGS labs. It also challenges the makers of NGS instrumentation. The pressure to stay ahead of the curve is particularly felt in vendor sequencing services labs.

In recent years, research labs have been a notable beneficiary as a variety of highly functional and specialized apps have gained the acceptance and even gratitude of a broad spectrum of laboratory managers, research scientists and bench technologists.

Many companies have made the decision to improve the sustainability of their operations, facilities, and products. They are doing so in response to a variety of pressures, including shareholder demand, employee interest, the potential for cost savings, and customer inquiries.

The old proverb “The more things change, the more they stay the same” seems truer than ever. Certainly, the use of technology in the lab is making significant changes to laboratory work processes, but when all is said and done, the goals of the lab remain basically the same.

Routine maintenance and proper training can extend the life of any piece of laboratory equipment. Unfortunately, even with proper maintenance, and sometimes resulting from lack of maintenance, large equipment can break down—sometimes at the worst possible time.

HPLC-fluorescence detection is now designated as the official analysis method for many components across various industries

UHPLC – ultra high performance liquid chromatography – systems have been around since 2003 and continue to grow. These systems, while having better performance than traditional HPLC, have more limited surface chemistries than HPLC.

Sievers InnovOx achieves excellent TOC recoveries regardless of organic compounds and particulate impurities in the sample.

Suited for applications that require fast pump-down times.
