Researchers from all life science disciplines rely on nucleic acid extraction. Automating it can ensure better Researchers from all life science disciplines rely on nucleic acid extraction to initiate experiments in applications from basic research to more complex ones including biomarker discovery, cell free diagnostics, epidemiology, and microbiomics. Once extracted,… Read More
Nucleic acid isolation is a cornerstone technique in molecular biology. Many labs use manual purification protocols for this, but they have four downsides. Nucleic acid isolation is a cornerstone technique in molecular biology, providing the starting material for most wet lab applications. However, isolating the material is only half the… Read More
Accuracy in lab experiments is critical, but often difficult to achieve–especially in life science labs. Here are 3 areas where automation can help. Accuracy in lab experiments is critical, but often difficult to achieve–especially in life science labs. This is largely because many protocols and procedures are done by… Read More
Future life science labs will require skill sets in automation, open-source tech, AI, and many other emerging areas. Here’s what you need to know. In the early 00’s, wet lab skills in molecular biology, cell biology, and proteomics were key to anyone seeking a job in the life sciences. While… Read More
Life science lab automation today is poised in the same place computers were in the 1970s: about to make the transition from a niche novelty to mainstream ubiquity. Life science lab automation today is in the same place computers were in the 1970s: about to make the transition from a… Read More
With greater speed, lower costs, and higher throughput than first-generation methods, next-generation sequencing (NGS) has catapulted biological research into a new era. Whole genome sequencing, epigenomics, metagenomics, and microbiomics are just a few of the many NGS applications of today, facilitating advances in epidemiology, cancer diagnostics, and drug. With greater… Read More
