Neil, Graphpad's Prism statistics/graphing software comes with an invaluable little book (Analyzing data with Graphpad Prism) that explains basic statistics...
Dear Terry, This is a good pathway as the new tags are R/W, (read/writable) and can hold quite a bit of pertinent info, however the remaining problem seems to...
Hello Terry, You may want to check with a company called VTLS, which I believe stands for Virginia Tech Library Systems (www.vtls.com). They specialize in ...

Does anyone know of a technique using a liquid handler to filter a sample while transferring it between vials? Is there a way of using disposable pipette tips...
Maxell sent out some literature a few months ago about a RFID tagged tube it is about to market. This is a link to an article about it in the RFID Journal. ...
Millipore had a tip with c18 beads in it. They may have one specifically for size exclusion. Might be a good place to start. Regards, Ed Oto TekCel Inc. and...
We have many solutions for filtration in both microtiter plate format and individual, syringe type filters. There are a couple of watchouts for each approach. ...

I'd suggest using a 24 well filter plate, such as this one (http://www.whatman.com/products/?pageID=7.30.27.191) from Whatman and a 4 probe liquid handler with...
Martha, I had the same problem because MP200 tool dispenses tips at a too high level on tip rack. My solution was writing a short code using the TCL language...

Tom Strader makes good points. Usual 9 and 18mm spacing is key to concurrent sample handling with most automation. Single sample handling operations offer...
In the article in the RFID journal the following quotation appears "One specific application that the company is looking at is using RFID to accurately...
Dear All: If you are a TECAN-Temo , or Biomek FX user (single piston), this maybe not a proper information for you, please skip it. Background In recent years,...
Dear All We wish to store our DNA library(usual volume >350ul)in a 2D barcoded tube. Matrix half height tubes with spilt septa seemed to fit the bill. We are...
Hello Is anybody using the Optek OPB350. This is a chip which can detect the presence of liquid (as opposed to air) in a 1/16" OD transparent tube. The tube...
Hello xiaoliu geng I would be very happy to join a discussion of Robotic Chemistry. If there are others hoeing in this dusty and stony corner of the lab...
Steve, I am not aware of any solutions for retrieving sample from pre-slit septa tubes using disposable tips. The conical shape of tips would make it very...
Regarding the RFID journal article on tagging individual tubes and bags... I thought the mortality rates seemed inflated too (see John Brohan's response), but...
Hello "steve14ntg" from ?. Although not nearly as convenient, you might consider the screw cap variety of the same tube. Tell them that you're interested in...

Hello, I've been looking at an Excel plug-in for producing funky graphs called Miner3D. Looking at the customer lists it mentions a few pharma/biotech clients...
Hello Does anyone have a method or device which can detect the presence of a rack or plate n a position on a robot. We would like this additional level of ...
Hi John, There is a simple solution that will not require substantial hardware changes and only a bit of software. It may apply to most robots and liquid...
Hello John, You don't specify the type of robot you are looking for. CyBio offers liquid handlers and transport systems, that could detect and verify the...
why won't a contact switch work? you could get fancy, up to cameras and vision analysis software, but simple works. ... of a rack ... level of ... required ...
... You can also use barcodes with different number sets, like all Barcodes that start with 1 are normal Plates and all that start with 2 are Deepwells and so...
Hello David I rather like the idea of vision analysis software, but as you say, the contact switch is much more practical B&B Electronics makes a nice digital ...
I did something similar several years ago only for tubes in a rack instead of plates. at that time, I used cylindrical push button switches with a low contact...
Hello ! We are looking for 96 well liquid handling system . So far the options are : Tecan Aquarius , PerkinElmer Apricot , Minitrak . It should be able to...
