The Importance of Liquid Handling Quality Control in an Automated Laboratory Environment (Teaser)

Dana Campbell, Field Support Specialist, Artel, considers the importance of quality control from an applications perspective. The automated liquid handler, or “the robot” as it is commonly referred to, is at the heart of the life science laboratory. Quality control is important to the robot programmer, the robot user, management and external customers, as well as necessary for regulatory compliance. It defines the accuracy and precision of liquid delivery in the laboratory. Campbell describes how the Tecan QC kit is a valuable tool, allowing quick and comprehensive volume transfer verification for Freedom EVO® and Fluent workstations.
