Responding to the COVID-19 pandemic put the world's laboratories under pressure. Here's how lab technicians worked to overcome the initial challenges.
Pipette tips play a critical role in liquid handling accuracy and reproducibility. Learn how tip quality, fit, and material impact experimental results across manual and automated workflows.
Choosing the right pipette tip is essential for accurate and reproducible laboratory results. Learn the four key factors to consider – materials, purity, fit, and traceability – when selecting pipette tips for your experiments.
ELISA protocols rely on precise, repetitive pipetting steps that can quickly become time-consuming. This article explores how PIPETMAN® M96 enables simultaneous 96-well dispensing to streamline plate preparation, reduce variability, and cut pipetting time by up to 70%.
As global supply chains grow more complex, protecting food quality and reducing risk depends on reliable analytical methods and automated sample preparation solutions for a safe, sustainable food system. This article shows how techniques like SPE and IAC—especially when automated with ASPEC® systems—boost throughput, reduce variability, and deliver accurate, reproducible results across even the most challenging food matrices.
What if automating your workflow didn’t mean changing everything you trust? With PIPETMAX®, labs can streamline qPCR, ELISA, and normalization tasks using the same reliable Gilson pipette tips they already depend on, bringing precision, speed, and simplicity to automation without the hidden costs. Discover how familiar tools can make automation effortless.
Simplify ELISA plate preparation with PIPETMAN® M96, a motorized 96-channel electronic pipette. Designed for high-throughput accuracy, it enables uniform dispensing across entire microplates while reducing variability and operator fatigue. With programmable protocols, ergonomic design, and compatibility with standard tips and labware, PIPETMAN M96 brings speed, precision, and reproducibility to every ELISA workflow.
Automation doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire workflow. This article explores how task-based automation helps laboratories automate specific steps, like plate setup, normalization, or sample preparation, to improve consistency, reduce errors, and scale workflows such as qPCR, NGS, and ELISA more efficiently.
Quantitative PCR (qPCR) is a cornerstone of molecular biology, used for applications ranging from gene expression analysis to pathogen detection. However, accurate qPCR results depend on precise liquid handling, making pipetting a critical yet time-consuming step.
Many sample types, such as those from the environment or food, undergo testing to detect contaminating residues such as pesticides, antibiotics, chlorinated hydrocarbons, and compounds of health concern. While the exact governmental regulations surrounding testing methods differ by country, gel permeation chromatography (GPC) is one of the routine methods used to clean up samples before analysis. As a routine step in residue testing, is often a part of the workflow to prepare samples before analysis by a variety of chromatography methods such as GC, HPLC, or LC/MS. GPC removes unwanted substances such as lipids, proteins, cell debris, pigments, humic acid, and sulfur, that can interfere with downstream chromatography steps used to detect the residues. Including GPC cleanup in residue testing can help make chromatography columns last longer, protect instrumentation, and improve residue detection accuracy.
