(Artel: Orlando, FL) -- It has been said that time is money. In the world of life science research, whether at a research university, in pharmaceutical drug discovery operations, or in high-throughput screening labs, that phrase can be amended to “downtime is money.” With regard to today’s automated liquid handling systems, keeping them online and operating precisely is the name of the game. As researchers continue to find ways to use liquid reagents in their assays in lower volumes, which are more challenging to dispense, it is doubly important to verify the performance of liquid handling instrumentation to ensure data integrity.

Tecan US, a regional organization of Tecan, a provider of automated liquid handling systems and services for the life science industry, understands this implicitly. The company’s Te-Care service program offered to customers is designed to provide optimal reliability, productivity, and precision of installed Tecan systems. With so much attention paid to ensuring the quality of its platforms throughout their lifetimes, Artel’s technology was a strong fit for verifying Tecan’s automated liquid handling systems.
