Now a team of scientists and engineers has a new trick to help researchers in busy laboratories become more productive and more accurate. A liquid handling station can facilitate that. A liquid handling system is a machine that has capability to meter in and out liquid in an accurate and rapid fashion. This can be a huge advantage in routines like mixing solutions, expediting samples and running experiments.
One of the greatest advantages of a liquid handling station is its time saving capacity. With a liquid handling station, it is no longer necessary to measure each liquid by hand, something that can be slower and more error-prone. In other words, scientists freed from the burden of repetitive work can spend more time on their research.
A further significant advantage of a liquid handling station is that it can minimize the risk of errors. You never know when you are going to make a mistake with liquid measurement by the hand. This is especially problematic in scientific work where even a small mistake can give misleading answers. Through the use of a liquid handling station, researchers can be sure that they are dispensing exactly what they need, every time.
Reproducibility is the core of science. When other scientists attempt to reproduce an experiment, they must be able to follow the same procedures and get the same results. If the liquids used are not measured in a laboratory then this can be hard, as you can never be sure about the variation in the amount used. You can also be sure that the exact same volume will be transferred every time, with a liquid handling station.
At Intelligent Technology, we provide a variety of liquid handling stations to suit any lab. Our liquid handling stations are simple to operate and able to process demanding liquids – from water to viscous solutions. They also come with built-in technology to deliver controlled dosages and to reduce the likelihood of mistakes.
