Pipettes are an essential tool in the laboratory, but their importance goes beyond just the simple transfer of liquids. In fact, pipettes are paramount to sample integrity and, therefore, the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of your results. A big part of that is upkeep and keeping them free from contaminants – learn more in this article.
Sample contamination is one of the biggest worries when it comes to sample integrity. It can occur at many stages of a laboratory’s operations, from sample collection, to transport, analysis, and storage. In this article, we explore the key drivers of contamination during pipetting, showing how the right tools and pipetting best practices help maximize sample integrity for consistent success.
For an experiment to be valuable, it is vital that you trust your sample so you can be confident in the results obtained. Sample integrity refers to the quality and reliability of a given sample, but it stretches beyond what is in the sample itself. Making sure you have proper pipetting techniques can improve sample integrity, but workers are only as good as their tools. Pipettes must be properly serviced and repaired by experts to maintain confidence in your results. This article highlights what quality customer service involves and how it supports your sample integrity.
This article discusses how an automation platform can help you overcome critical challenges in creating optimized high-throughput assay workflows. We also explore options for incorporating them into your assay kits to minimize the burden and maximize time-to-market.
To handle increased sampling demand around the world, more labs are moving to automated liquid handling systems. Here’s why you should consider them too.
To keep up with today’s molecular testing demands, labs need access to smart and connected liquid handling tools. Here are four key components to consider.
Gilson and Funai show a preview of the soon-to-be-released Gilson Digital Dispenser. This is a non-contact dispenser capable of dispensing DMSO and aqueous solutions from pL to µL. The large dynamic range makes it ideal for dose-response studies, serial dilutions, and assay miniaturization. In this webinar, our attending experts demonstrate the functionality of the new Digital Dispenser with a cell-based assay example.
Not every lab needs a robotic liquid handling solution, but most cannot operate without a pipette. It is between these two scenarios that human-centric automation in the lab is helping overcome the reproducibility crisis.
As you go through the steps of SPE method development or transferring a manual method to your automated system, reference this guide as both a resource and step-by-step troubleshooting handbook. This guide provides a background for the technique and explains the science of solid phase extraction (SPE). It also offers practical advice for automating workflows via Gilson SPE systems and software.
With so many models available, choosing the right pipettes for your lab will depend on the application. Here's how to choose a pipette for your experiment.
