Gilson Connect
I-COVID is a rapid saliva-based COVID-19 test developed by the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. We had the opportunity to interview Christian Messmacher, Chief Operating Officer of SHIELD T3, about the company, how their I-COVID test is expanding testing, and how he uses Gilson liquid handling tools to help facilitate the testing workflow.
Here we show how our Gilson portfolio of products fits into RT-LAMP COVID-19 testing workflows. Each step of the process is illustrated with a description of the products and how they can help to improve the quality of your results and enhance your sample integrity.
In today’s clinical environment, COVID-19 testing is of paramount importance and is growing in numbers on a daily basis. Here we show how our Gilson portfolio of products fit into the qPCR COVID-19 laboratory workflow.
Here, we discuss SHIELD T3, an organization founded by the University of Illinois to help expand the use of the I-COVID test. We describe their testing method and how Gilson liquid handling products are used to facilitate the workflow.
Dr. Ed Campbell is a molecular virologist at Loyola University Chicago’s Stritch School of Medicine whose research focuses on molecular mechanisms of viral infection and inflammation. Recently, he has taken on a new role as founder of SafeGuard Surveillance, a company running COVID-19 surveillance testing for school districts in the suburban Chicago area.
This glossary of pipetting terms (and the explanations of pipette types and working principles) gives lab technicians a quick, handy overview for reference.
Manual sample preparation and treatment is a laborious process requiring constant attention in the lab. Here’s how to optimize and automate your SPE workflows.
In this study, functional RNA was quantitated by RT-qPCR using the GoTaq® Probe 1-Step RT-qPCR System after two different extraction methods. To enhance the pipetting accuracy and consistency, PIPETMAX 268 was used to reduce pipetting errors inherent in manual methods.
Integrating automated liquid handling systems, like PIPETMAX® 268, into your RT-qPCR workflows for detecting SARS-CoV-2 can help remove the risk of manual errors in sample transfers.
