When working within a life sciences laboratory one of the most important assets is your samples. This is why it is imperative to preserve, store and retrieve samples while maintaining their integrity. With any large store or “library” of compounds or other samples, being able to easily retrieve a specified sub-set of samples is key to any research workflow - this is the so-called “pick list.” A new technical paper from Ziath describes how their Mirage 2D tube rack reader and Mohawk semi-automated tube picker...
To enhance the reproducibility of flow chemistry scale-up - precise control of mixing and temperature in highly exothermic or rapid reactions in particular is essential.
