Exponential growth in sample volumes pushes biobanks toward automation
Every year, nearly 100 million samples are added to biobanks worldwide. Over 1500 bio repositories exist today and efforts are underway to automate the various sample handling and compound storage processes involved in biobanking. The increased focus on preservation of sample integrity and biobanking efficiency is creating considerable growth opportunities for automated solutions...
Read MoreRisk Management for LIMS ProjectsNov 14, 2012
Autoscribe, developer of the Matrix Gemini Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS), has published a white paper which looks at the common factors that contribute to risk in LIMS projects
Given the increasing demand for long-term storage of clinical samples, compound stores are becoming increasingly important. Same is the case with automated liquid handling units that can perform blood fractionation, sample preparation, capping and decapping of vials, automated pipetting and sample transfers with the help of robotic arms...
Read MoreNew updates to the Olympus FV10-ASW software extend FluoView FV1000 and FV1000MPE laser scanning capabilitiesJun 6, 2011Olympus has introduced FV10-ASW 3.0, the latest version of its software for the FluoView FV1000 range of confocal laser scanning microscopes (cLSM) and Fluoview FV1000MPE (multiphoton excitation) systems. By incorporating high dynamic range imaging (HDRI), a greater dynamic range of fluorescence between the lightest and darkest areas of a sample is obtained. Furthermore, signal to noise ratios are minimised, enabling clear, highly resolved images to be easily captured...
