Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) is a high-throughput DNA sequencing technology that allows the simultaneous analysis of millions of DNA fragments in a single run. This approach has revolutionized genomic research by enabling the rapid and efficient determination of an individual's entire…
Laboratories are costly to run because they require skilled personnel in addition to investment in a variety of instruments and stock in order to fulfill the purpose of the lab. Subsequently, lab managers are continuously faced with a series of…
Cervical cancer is the fourth most frequent cancer found in women. Most cervical cancers are found in women between the ages of 35 and 44. More than 95% of cervical cancer cases are caused by the human papillomavirus (HPV). Cervical…

Yale Medicine noted that the US was facing, as of Fall 2022, a potential tripledemic. This entails the combination of RSV (respiratory syncytial virus), Covid-19 and the flu. The fear of the tripledemic was that it would overwhelm the healthcare…
Quality assurance in regards to liquid handling processes is a standard requirement. There is the simple expectation that liquid handling processes are both thorough and exacting in order to make sure that the data provided is of the necessary quality. …
Knowing when to introduce lab automation in your lab is not always that obvious. Many- a - lab have struggled with indecision and trying to figure out if automation is right for their lab at a given point in time.…
Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) can sound like a mouthful and it almost implies that it is highly complex. It doesn’t have to be and the purpose here is to shed some light on it and allow for a better, more…
Many times we hear from those in the lab automation space, that they struggle to convey what it is they do to others outside of life sciences (although it may also be true that some of us struggle even to…
The decision to implement an automation solution in your lab can be a daunting one. It is an investment in your lab and your team and as such, due care and attention are both necessary and required. To that end,…
