Low-Volume Liquid Handling Gaining Favor: Novel Iteration Reduces Amount of Sample and Reagent Used and Speeds Processes

摘要

In the unending quest to do more with less, the Biotech industry has embraced low-volume liquid handling, and is continuing to advance the tools and techniques that make it a laboratory mainstay. With microtiter well volumes often in the nanoliter range, the benefits are obvious. Researchers use much less sample and reagent and thereby cut expenses. They also get results faster by allowing more assays to be run with a given quantity of fluid.
