(Artel: Westbrook, ME ) -- Douglas Scientific, a provider of high-throughput laboratory automation, has incorporated the Artel MVS (multichannel verification system) into its engineering and development process for its innovative Array Tape liquid-handling platforms. The Minnesota-based company acquired the MVS earlier this year to enable development of rapid and simple methods to assess the accuracy and precision of its liquid-handling instrumentation. Once the MVS was implemented, the engineering team quickly realized it had a powerful research and development tool on its hands.

“With the significantly reduced assay volumes that the Array Tape platform supports, we’re continually driven to push the limits of dispensing technology,” says Darren Cook, business development executive at Douglas Scientific. “The MVS system allows our team, as well as our customers, to verify and validate dispensing performance on our equipment using the same standardized technology.”
