This article discusses how an automation platform can help you overcome critical challenges in creating optimized high-throughput assay workflows. We also explore options for incorporating them into your assay kits to minimize the burden and maximize time-to-market.

In this article, we hear from an industry leader on their experience using centrifugal partition chromatography (CPC) in the pharmaceutical industry, and how it's a method well-suited for producing highly active molecules that meet safety and performance requirements.

For an experiment to be valuable, it is vital that you trust your sample so you can be confident in the results obtained. Sample integrity refers to the quality and reliability of a given sample, but it stretches beyond what is in the sample itself. Making sure you have proper pipetting techniques can improve sample integrity, but workers are only as good as their tools. Pipettes must be properly serviced and repaired by experts to maintain confidence in your results. This article highlights what quality customer service involves and how it supports your sample integrity.

While more than 220 viruses are known to infect humans, clinically approved antiviral drugs are available for only a dozen of these viruses. CPC is an ideal solution for natural compound investigations. Gilson, in collaboration with Brazilian researchers, recently performed preliminary experiments demonstrating the antiviral activity of compounds that were fractionated from a plant crude extract using CPC.

qPCR plays a vital role in addressing today’s healthcare questions, with applications ranging from gene expression analysis to mutagenesis studies, and contamination is a significant concern. So, how can you ensure the integrity of your qPCR samples? This article explores where contamination arises from, and how to identify it. To improve sample integrity, we highlight approaches you can take to minimize contamination.

Oligonucleotides, or oligos, are at the core of some of the most life-changing molecular biology tools used today. From qPCR to antisense gene therapy, oligos have changed what scientists can achieve through synthetic and molecular biology. While synthesis methods continue to advance, one significant challenge remains: oligo purification. Here, we explore the most common approaches to oligo purification, and explain how the right HPLC system can overcome any current and future challenges and help you achieve more accurate results.

Sample contamination is one of the biggest worries when it comes to sample integrity. It can occur at many stages of a laboratory’s operations, from sample collection, to transport, analysis, and storage. In this article, we explore the key drivers of contamination during pipetting, showing how the right tools and pipetting best practices help maximize sample integrity for consistent success.

Pipettes are an essential tool in the laboratory, but their importance goes beyond just the simple transfer of liquids. In fact, pipettes are paramount to sample integrity and, therefore, the accuracy, reliability, and reproducibility of your results. A big part of that is upkeep and keeping them free from contaminants – learn more in this article.

Using the right systems can improve sample integrity in your sample separation workflows, helping labs to have greater confidence in their results. Here we outline what to look for in your sample separation instruments to remove risks of common threats to sample integrity.

The quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) has transformed the world of molecular biology methodology by enabling fast, high-throughput detection and quantification of DNA and RNA in real time. PIPETMAX is specifically designed to maximize reproducibility and accuracy in qPCR workflows. Here, we explore three ways that PIPETMAX can help you run more effective and efficient experiments.
