Automated liquid handling: Meet the needs of the modern lab
10 May 2021Precise handling of liquids is essential to almost all scientific experiments, but in this modern age, manual pipetting alone is not enough to keep up with the requirements of most laboratories. Scientists now demand greater efficiency from their workflows - a trend that has been further intensified by the COVID-19 pandemic - inspiring the development of innovative pipetting solutions to dramatically improve throughput.
Download this application compendium to discover a range of topical resources that detail the effective incorporation of both automated and semi-automated liquid handling technologies across four essential lab techniques: cell culture, cell screening, sample extraction and purification, and PCR.
The eBook explores these core techniques using worked examples spanning a variety of pressing topics, including:
- Fully automated 3D cell culture
- Automated seeding of spheroids
- Optimized ELISAs
- High-throughput plasmid DNA purification
- Automated antibody purification
- Simple PCR prep for COVID-19 testing
- Automatic magnetic bead PCR purification
