Sample preparation for any form of analysis can be tedious and time-consuming, and efforts to automate this process have been long and fruitful. Today, many different types of liquid handlers exist that can perform a variety of functions to increase throughput tremendously. In this application note, we demonstrate one example of sample prep by taking a common but complicated screening method for optimizing liquid-liquid chromatography run parameters and automating the process. We also showcase the use of liquid level detection in the precise liquid handling of biphasic solutions
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.
Switching from a manual to an automated process not only enables significantly more effective use of personnel time, but also removes operator error for reproducible results and increases the accuracy and precision of assays. In this article, we delve into the challenges that can arise during this transition and explain how Gilson's solutions and services can ease the process of transferring your manual methods to an automated system.
The vinegar fly, or fruit fly, is an excellent animal model for studying the underlying mechanisms of human disease. In preparation for use in research studies, fruit fly larvae must eat and grow continuously over a four-day period before hatching. In this app note, we describe the time-consuming and labor-intensive process of preparing vessels with fly food and how to avoid it using a fully automated system.
Did you know that about 75% of known human disease genes have a recognizable match in the genome of the fruit fly? In this technical note, a lab uses the Gilson Fly Food Dispenser to dispense fly food into vials at regular intervals.
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.
The University of Oxford reduces pipetting time by 75% with Gilson’s TRACKMAN® Connected system. Read more about their workflow and how they use connected tools to make their DNA normalization workflow more efficient.
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.
Original equipment manufacturers (OEM) develop and sell products that ensure reliability and reproducibility. Here are reasons to partner with OEMs.
