Using automated liquid handling work stations facilitates high throughput sample processing, but can mean that a very large volume of disposable robotic tips are used. Using a tip refill system minimises the environmental and financial impact this has.

EcoPac^®, now available from Alpha Laboratories, is a range of robotic tip refills that are fully compatible with the Biomek^® and Multimek^® Workstations. This system utilises environmentally friendly refillable racks and refill stacks of 5 x 96 robotic tips, designed to fit Beckman instruments using the AP96 liquid handling head. The sturdy, specially designed refillable racks withstand the extreme forces exerted upon them by automated liquid handling workstations...

Simple and reliable determination of arsenic in water

The usual spectroscopic methods (ICP-MS, AAS) for the determination of toxic arsenic in drinking water are either very expensive or challenging to use. An alternative method that is much easier to use and much less expensive at the same time is voltammetric determination with the scTRACE Gold. This new, screenprinted sensor can be used without any preparation; measuring results are available after only 10 minutes on average, and the detection limit for arsenic is well below the 10 µg/L stipulated by the latest legislation in the US and the EU....
