Instrumentation
Automation of key laboratory processes can significantly improve the efficiency of your research program. Incorporating an automated platform into your assay or sample processing workflow also improves standardization and facilitates the tracking of processes while increasing throughput and minimizing hands-on time, thus allowing for more effective use of skilled personnel time.
Why Use Automation?
- Achieve standardization of assays, procedures and sample processing.
- Reduce hands-on time for skilled personnel.
- Increased throughput.
Products
RoboSep™, the fully automated cell isolation platform, is designed to streamline your cell isolation. The RoboSep™-S and RoboSep™-16 instruments offer true walk-away automation while retaining the speed and simplicity of EasySep™ with as little as 5 minutes of hands-on time.
Advantages:
- Automate cell isolation
- Streamline and increase sample throughput
- Obtain cells that are immediately ready for downstream applications
- Perform sequential or simultaneous cell isolations
- Eliminate cross-contamination
STEMvision™ is a computer-operated bench-top instrument that automatically counts colonies in CFU assays of human or mouse hematopoietic cells, significantly improving the accuracy and reproducibility of progenitor cell quantitation.
