How Modularity Enables Change in Technology Technology allows us to expand our perceptions and understanding of what is possible. This is especially true for life science labs, where technology—and specifically lab automation technology—is constantly evolving and driving new innovations. Adapting to change with automation offers us an opportunity to improve the way we work; helping […]
Lab automation enhances productivity but relies on human expertise for success in design, operation, and data analysis.
Accelerating the Adoption of Lab Automation An interesting outcome of the COVID-19 pandemic has been increased attention and interest in laboratory automation across labs in the life sciences. Why? Perhaps years of sustained public interest in all things related to the life sciences drove labs to analyze their own workflows. It’s impossible to say for […]
Lab Automation Unconstrained by a Strict Definition What is lab automation? Lab automation involves controlling tools and equipment with minimal interaction. It integrates automated technologies into the laboratory to streamline processes and eliminate repetitive tasks, improving throughput and quality. It is essential for labs to remain competitive and meet demands, especially as they face challenges […]
Automated Liquid Handlers are Not Commodity Products Automated liquid handlers are a great way to remove manual performance variability from a workflow while adding valuable time back on your clock. And if you’re familiar with different manufacturers in the liquid handling space, you likely understand that robotic liquid handlers are not all created equally. Functional […]
The Power of Technology in Bioengineering Technology plays a critical role in the success of bioengineering, an ever-evolving field in which scientists spend their time researching new ways to improve biology by leveraging principles of engineering. In some instances, bioengineering efforts can be lifesaving. This includes improving current medical procedures and propelling pharmaceutical research. But […]
Implementing robotic automation into your lab processes can be time-intensive and costly. Even simple manual tasks need careful planning and calibration to ensure that laboratory robots can successfully complete each task with a high degree of accuracy and minimal errors. After the time, effort, and expense that it takes to install and maintain lab robots and […]
The push to higher density plate formats in biopharma research has been underway for quite some time, as it is seen as a principle means of reducing the costs of experimentation through higher unit throughput per time slice, and lower reagent volumes per data point. While automated liquid handling technology widely handles 96-well plates with […]
