To ensure the accuracy of your results, you need to opt between using a positive-displacement pipette vs air-displacement pipette. Here’s what you should know.

Automating protocols with liquid handlers provides repeatability and gives you greater confidence in your results. Here's a quick overview of automated SPE.

Analyzing the use of AttractSPE WAX-PFA cartridges with the Gilson 274 ASPEC Large Volume System to automate the SPE of PFAs from tap water samples.

The type of pipette you use, and your pipetting technique will have a major impact on the accuracy and results of your assays. Almost every laboratory that conducts research will have a pipetting procedure that accurately measures the exact volumes when aspirating and dispensing liquids. However, if the workflow calls for pipetting dense liquids, making sure you’re using the correct pipette can ensure accuracy in your assays.

When pipetting small volumes, you'll need to take additional steps to improve your sampling accuracy. Here are five tips for improving your pipetting technique.

Manual sample preparation and treatment is a laborious process requiring constant attention in the lab. Here’s how to optimize and automate your SPE workflows.

Since 1970, glyphosate has been used as a systemic, non-selective herbicide and crop desiccant on farms, in fields, and in public and residential areas. This poster outlines the rapid purification of glyphosate, aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA), and glufosinate from red wine using AFFINIMIP® SPE Glyphosate.

In this application note we examine the limits of quantification and detection, repeatability, reproducibility, and recovery in food safety analytical testing. Automation with the GX-271 ASPEC® system provides a reproducible and

reliable method for the isolation.

Deoxynivalenol (DON) is a mycotoxin that occurs predominantly in grains such as wheat, barley, oats, rye, and maize and consumption is associated with outbreaks of gastroenteritis in humans. Automated methods are well-suited for quantification of toxins because they are accurate, reduce the time required for laboratory analysis, and reduce human errors - learn more in this application note.

Nitrosamines are a class of semi-volatile organic chemical compounds characterized by a nitroso group attached to an amine group. In this tech note we describe a method for automating US EPA Method 521 using the Gilson ASPEC® 274 Large Volume System
