Clever Serial Dilution Process Provides Better Performance at Lower Costs
Many analytical methods have been accelerated and improved with the help of innovative laboratory automation. A higher sample throughput is often needed to justify the associated investment in new capital equipment. In addition, established laboratory processes must be adapted to the new operating protocol, and the required technical expertise in the team must be present or has to be built up.
With partial automation of the critical process steps, where the execution and the results depend on the individual working style of employees, the accuracy and reliability of the testing results can be improved, and often at the same time, working processes can be accelerated. In contrast to full automation, a complete redesign of established laboratory processes and significant investment into costly laboratory equipment and highly skilled personnel can be avoided by clever partial automation.
