As demand for pure cannabis compounds increases, so too will solvent usage as manufacturers scale up purification to meet the demand.
Here, we describe a low-cost automated fluid dispensing system that is easy to use, while also remaining adaptable to a variety of tube/vial/plate formats. The system is suitable for many uses in biotechnology, chemical, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical labs.
How do you know you’re pipetting the volume you intend? Would you trust the results you’re getting if you didn’t know your pipettes were calibrated properly? Fortunately, there are standards that pipette manufacturers and calibration services follow so that you know you’re pipetting the correct volumes. Read more here.
Sample integrity is vital for accurate, trustworthy results and it can be affected by all stages of liquid handling, from pipetting to transport. Taking actions to improve pipetting and pipette storage, the lab environment, and sample storage and transport can protect your sample integrity and give you trustworthy results – learn more here.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), or “forever chemicals”, are highly stable materials used in a variety of household products, industries, and processes. These chemicals can pose several health risks to living organisms and contaminate the environment. In this article, we elaborate on the above along with how automated solid phase extraction can be used to isolate PFAS from numerous matrices including water, soil, air (dust), and food such as seafood and eggs.
Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) is a powerful and highly sensitive method of amplifying genetic material, with applications ranging from diagnostics and forensics to research.
However, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of your qPCR experiments can be challenging — even the smallest amount of contamination or failure to adhere strictly to liquid handling best practices can substantially impact your results.
So, what can you do to maximize your chances of delivering highly accurate qPCR results, time after time? In this article, we share our top 5 tips for qPCR success.
Preparative chromatography, a method used to separate and purify target compounds from complex mixtures, plays a crucial role in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. In either industry, preparative chromatography has roles in the early stages of drug development, pilot studies, and process development. In this article, you'll learn how we provide support throughout this process and enable our customers and partners to achieve their purification goals from the milligrams to the kilogram scale.
When choosing a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system, it's important to consider how your future needs may evolve from your current needs. In this article, you’ll learn about the advantages of modular HPLC systems when it comes to current experimental needs and how the ability to swap out HPLC components safeguards the future of your system and your research.
Liquid chromatography (LC) is the standard method used for purifying products in the discovery stages, as it is cost-effective, relatively simple to perform, and reliable. However, obtaining high purity and yield using this approach often comes at the cost of throughput, as purification runs must be lengthened to achieve greater separation between components. This article explores how users can enhance fraction collection efficiency and streamline the purification process by using the latest advances.
It is becoming increasingly clear that enhancing sustainability in the lab is not just about meeting regulatory requirements — it's a necessity to reduce environmental damage. Labs themselves can adopt sustainable processes by implementing more efficient and productive workflows. In this article, we delve deeper into the issue of chemical waste in labs and identify key areas where labs can significantly improve their sustainability.
