Melbourne-based Genera Biosystems has been testing a HydroSpeed™ plate washer with its Sirocco™ multiplexed diagnostics automation platform, allowing rapid, efficient washing of its proprietary AmpaSand™ beads.
Karl Poetter, Chief Scientific Officer, explained: "Following PCR, AmpaSand plates are spun down to remove the supernatant, then washed to remove unbound reagents or PCR products prior to flow cytometry analysis. Manual bead washing is tedious and error-prone, and so we wanted to automate the post-PCR washing steps to provide the accuracy and reliability necessary for diagnostic applications. We needed an automated 96-channel plate washer that offered effective removal of unincorporated primers and reagents without disturbing the pellet, and the HydroSpeed washer from Tecan was the only system that met our specifications....

Read MoreHotplate Stirrers for Synthetic ChemistryMar 25, 2015
Asynt hotplate stirrers are designed to offer synthetic chemistry laboratories a combination of affordability, top build quality and high performance without compromising on safety.
Manufactured in an ISO9001-2008 production facility, each Asynt hotplate stirrer incorporates two independent control circuits. The additional and independent safety circuit is for limiting the maximum heating plate temperature; this can be adjusted between 50 and 360 ºC but cannot be changed accidentally. This ensures that the flashpoint of your reaction solvent is not exceeded making it ideal for teaching laboratories...
Electrothermal pioneered the UK’s market for heating mantles, producing the first British-made heating mantle way back in 1943.
Prior to this era, heating in chemical laboratories was potentially very dangerous, since open flame gas burners and electric glow coils were commonly used to heat oil, sand, molten metal, and water baths. Despite widespread safety concerns, heating baths are still in common usage today. They remain inherently dangerous as the hot fluid they contain is liable to be spilled or spattered should water be accidentally introduced, and a hot bath is very difficult to deal with in an emergency situation....

With the advent of NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) came the ability to learn more about genomes than ever before and also the ability to do so faster. This trend has done nothing but continue with speed and data quality improving though chemistry and platform advances.
However, NGS is by no means a cheap commodity in any lab. With systems ranging from around $150,000 to easily in excess of $1,000,000 the cost of purchasing and running such systems is still very high, driving a need to get the most from every run. Library quantification is an area where improvements have been made and technologies incorporated to help, namely the use of qPCR, which has in recent years become the gold standard for NGS library quantification....
The Pipetting Cycle is part of a series of tutorial videos; this first tutorial demonstrates the five distinct steps of pipetting and how to do them correctly. These have been created as part of Anachem's Good Pipetting Practice Programme (GPP).
The majority of scientists will agree that pipetting is normally the most frequently practiced activity in the lab. The accuracy and precision of pipettes is vital for producing good quality results. However it is not just the pipette that needs to be considered when evaluating the accuracy of experimental data. There are a number of factors that can influence the accuracy, quality and reproducibility of the generated data, including pipetting skill, pipette maintenance and calibration....
