Let's Talk About The Latest Old News: The Return Of The Paperless Lab
By Susan Najjar, Thermo Fisher Scientific
A paperless lab integrates the laboratory with the enterprise and automates systems by eliminating paper-based, manual, and error-prone processes. While most companies have invested in many instruments and software solutions in the laboratory, manufacturing, and the enterprise to improve operations, these systems are not seamlessly integrated, creating data silos, or standalone information repositories that do not communicate with one another.


A Guide To Nanomixing Technology
By Christine Banaszek, Charles Ross and Son Company
This white paper presents an overview of mixing technologies employed in the dispersion of nano-sized solid particles into liquid. As major developments continue to unfold in the multidisciplinary field of nanotechnology, new mixing applications and processing challenges arise. The aim of this paper is to provide practical information on the efficient use of specialty mixing equipment for the preparation of low, medium, and high-viscosity nanodispersions.

Scientific Advantages Of Picoliter Dispensing For Dose-Response Analyses
Digital dispensing provides the ability to form dose-response analyses without the use of serial dilution. Instead, it forms the series of doses by directly placing the appropriate number of picoliter droplets into each well.


VWorks Automation Control
Agilent VWorks Automation Control software is a complete and reliable solution for driving the integrated laboratory automation throughout the discovery process.


Improving The Analytical Workflow In Protein Biopharmaceutical Characterization
Nearly every process conducted by a biopharmaceutical company requires a tremendous amount of analytical characterization to support the development of biotherapeutic products. Due to the inherent complexity of biotherapeutics, characterization is significantly more difficult than it is for small molecules.


Using Single-Use Tubes In A Biorepository
Many hospitals and research institutes are building up large collections of biological samples, together with associated medical and lifestyle data, as a resource for biochemical research. Typically, the objective is to better understand the causes of disease and treatment response.
