Instrumentation

Automation of key laboratory processes can significantly improve the efficiency of your research program. Incorporating an automated platform into your assay or sample processing workflow also improves standardization and facilitates process tracking while increasing throughput and minimizing hands-on time. Together, these features can help you make more effective use of skilled personnel time.

Why Use Automation?

  • Achieve standardization of assays, procedures and sample processing.
  • Reduce hands-on time for skilled personnel.
  • Increase the throughput of your assay or sample processing workflow.
