Lab Automation or laboratory automation is a multi-disciplinary strategy to research, develop, optimize and capitalize on technologies in the laboratory that enable new and improved processes. Laboratory automation professionals are academic, commercial and government researchers, scientists and engineers who conduct research and develop new technologies to increase productivity, elevate experimental data quality, reduce lab process cycle times, or enable experimentation that otherwise would be impossible.
As the diagnostic test menu has increased in size and complexity, healthcare providers are in great need of advice on appropriate test selection and result interpretation. To address this nee...
Analytical chemistry can take you to strange places - for me it has been to the bottom of a quarry, being covered in dirt, excavating sesame-seed sized fossils that allow us to work out when...
Everyone that uses titration in their lab knows how simple and fast the technique can be. However, uncertainty around when to replace electrodes creates confusion. Reagent quality, tubi...
Hydrogen-deuterium exchange mass spectrometry (HDX-MS) has developed into a powerful tool for investigating biopharmaceuticals, protein interactions, and membrane protein dynamics. Since 2010...
This intensive workshop will introduce infrared spectroscopy, outline the various sample handling methods and provide guidance on the numerous transmission and reflectance methods available f...
Ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) is a rapid, gas-phase separation technique that has become an integral part of the analytical repertoire of techniques for the -omics. This method coupl...
Two-dimensional (2D) 1H-13C methyl correlated NMR is increasingly being recognized as a powerful tool to characterize the higher order structure (HOS) of monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutic...
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is a versatile, non-exhaustive sample preparation tool that has been demonstrated to be well-suited for facile and effective analysis of a broad range of co...
In the postgenomic era, one expects the suite of chemical players in a brain region to be known and their functions uncovered. Perhaps surprisingly, many neurochemicals remain poorly characte...
A fast, reliable and low cost characterization of materials/ products as fed to a process, and/or resulting from different processing actions, represents one of the most challenging targets i...
High dose of biotin may interference with many routine clinical immunoassays and inaccurate results of some of the tests such as cardiac troponin has serious clinical complications. There is...

The miniaturized total chemical analysis system has been successfully repurposed over the past twenty years or so for engineering cellular microenvironments which more faithfully mimic in viv...
I will discuss three novel technologies that our laboratory has developed in recent years. In the first part of the talk, I will describe our work on engineering variants of the RNA-guided en...
The next step towards more biomimetic in vitro models is the design of multi-organ devices, which allow for communication of different tissue types. Combining physiologically relevant organ m...
Cell-based assays are more biologically relevant than biochemical assays yet significantly more scalable than in vivo experiments. However, care must be taken in sample preparation to e...
Over the years high throughput screening has evolved from monolithic static systems to modular more dynamic platforms. At NCATS the approach taken has been to optimize our existing lega...
This talk will reflect on what we can expect from the lab of the future and explore avenues towards such a digital lab. A major component of a digital lab is integration of instruments, syste...
Synthetic biology is a new set of tools and techniques for engineering biology. Its earliest applications were in biotech-related fields like medicine and agriculture, but today it’s be...
