Emerging Technologies Guide: November 2024
Recent new and emerging technologies in the field of laboratory medicine from the 2024 November Genetics & Genomics issue of Today's Clinical Lab
INTEGRA Biosciences is excited to announce the launch of its MAG and HEATMAG modules for efficient, automated magnetic bead purification. These innovative solutions allow researchers to streamline several processing steps in molecular biology and proteomics workflows for maximum lab throughput. These time-saving devices are complemented by the COLDPLATE and BIOSHAKE—for precise temperature control and orbital shaking of magnetic beads, respectively—to further streamline protocols.
Hamilton's innovative Verso Dx is an automated postanalytical storage system that caters to different workflows thanks to its ability to load samples either manually or via lab track. This flexible system, which can be built in multiple sizes, features a storage capacity ranging from 30,000 to 1 million tubes. The platform can store tubes at ambient or the common temperature of 5°C, while also boasting the capability to store samples at -20°C for special applications.
