Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Sample HandlingProper and careful handling of samples is important in scientific studies to ensure the integrity of specimens. This will prevent deterioration and cross contamination, and improve the accuracy of sample tracking procedures.Clinical NGSNext Generation Sequencing (NGS) refers to the use of massive parallel sequencing of multiple small fragments of DNA. This high-throughput genomic analysis yields enormous amounts of sequence data, which if appropriately analyzed could have huge potential for clinical laboratories. For this to happen there are technique and bioinformatic hurdles to be overcome.Clinical ChemistryClinical chemistry involves the analysis of bodily fluids, like blood and urine, to diagnose and monitor diseases. Tests in clinical chemistry provide critical information for patient care and treatment decisions. Explore clinical chemistry tools in our peer-reviewed product directory; compare products, check reviews, and get pricing directly from manufacturers.Clinical StudyProspective biomedical or behavioral research studies on human subjects, following tests in animals, that are designed to answer specific questions about novel vaccines, drugs, treatments, dietary supplements, devices or new ways of using known interventions, generating safety and efficacy data.Sample ProcessingSample processing is required to prepare samples prior to analysis. Technologies used for sample processing include homogenizers, grinders, mills and mixers.
