To maintain accuracy and repeatability, you must service and maintain your instruments. Here’s what you should know about pipette replacement parts.

Here's a quick guide on how magnetic beads are used for RNA and DNA extraction and how it plays an important role in today's world.

Discover the differences between OEM and value-added partnerships and the many ways your company can benefit from VAP relationships.

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.

Correctly reading the volume on a pipette depends on multiple factors, including proper pipetting technique. Here are some helpful tips to ensure you're using proper techniques in the lab.

The increasingly rapid pace of scientific research, combined with larger amounts of data, means it’s now more important than ever that routine steps or small changes to protocols be automatically recorded to ease the researcher's task list.

We interviewed Dr. Francesco Fiorentino, Founder and CSO of Kitos Biotech, to discuss his lab and its transition to automated liquid handling. Learn more about their story and how they have gained a competitive advantage in the market of preclinical research.

As globalized food trade has become more common in recent years, improved screening methods combined with food inspection investigations have put a large amount of pressure on the food and beverage industry to improve quality assurance and control. This pressure led to the FDA Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), which aims to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe by shifting the focus of federal regulators from responding to contamination to preventing contamination.

Cannabidiol (CBD) is a non-psychotropic cannabinoid from the Cannabis sativa L. (Cannabaceae) plant. Researchers have shown that CBD’s medicinal properties may be of use for treating a variety of conditions including pain, inflammation, epilepsy, and cancer.1,2 Recently, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved the first cannabis-derived drug (Epidiolex®) to treat children with rare forms of epilepsy.

Since Gilson invented the continuously adjustable variable volume pipette 45 years ago, we have been an industry leader in liquid handling innovation, helping scientists by making lab life easier and being more productive. Gilson sees the next big innovation revolution around advances in the lab enabled by connected, smart devices containing technologies referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT). We sat down with Steve DeCabooter, Director of Product Information Platforms at Gilson, to discuss the growing role of the IoT in the laboratory, and how Gilson’s connected pipettes will contribute to this trend and infuse research with greater traceability and verifiability.
