The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a highly sensitive method of amplifying genetic material. PCR has enabled many applications in fields such as diagnostics, forensics, and research. A single copy of DNA can be exponentially amplified by a series of cycles of temperature changes. The process can be contaminated by a single copy of an undesired DNA sequence, and special tools are often needed. Gilson has been involved in the area of PCR for many years and has a range of products to assist in this process.
Case Study: Tools to Increase qPCR COVID-19 Testing Throughput
Solutions that increase workflow efficiency for COVID-19 testing can help diagnostic laboratories improve productivity by increasing sample processing capacity and accuracy. Here we describe a lab's test method and how they have incorporated Gilson liquid handling tools into their qPCR workflow to help improve efficiency and increase testing throughput.
Automated Liquid Handling: The Robotics Your Lab Needs
Increased demand and the need for consistent results require every lab to deploy automated liquid handling in their workflows. Here’s what to consider.
Designed for performance and comfort, PIPETMAN® L comes in a comprehensive range of models adapted to your needs in the lab. Comfortable, precise, accurate, and reliable, use PIPETMAN L pipettes confidently in your applications. Available as a fixed or variable volume, the PIPETMAN L air-displacement pipettes cover a full volume ranges.
Gilson filter tips are a great option when working with overly sensitive assays and offer protection against aerosol and biological contamination. These tips are ideal for qPCR, PCR RNA, and DNA isolation, and every time you need to take special care of your sample.
PIPETMAX is an automated pipetting solution for the efficient processing of high-throughput biological assays. It will help you to improve on the accuracy, reproducibility, and consistency among all samples processed. Unlike traditional automation platforms, PIPETMAX comes in a benchtop size that easily fits into any lab.
TRACKMAN® Connected is a tablet with exclusive accessories and applications that make pipetting on 96- and 384-well plates faster and more reliable, improving your efficiency at the bench by tracking your pipetting tasks. Designed to communicate with PIPETMAN® M Connected via Bluetooth®, the tablet interacts in real-time with the pipette and guides you through your protocol.
PLATEMASTER is an easy-to-use, accurate solution for high-throughput manual pipetting of 96- and 384-well microplates. Two models are available: PLATEMASTER P20 for pipetting volumes from 0.5−20 µL and PLATEMASTER P220 for pipetting volumes from 2−220 µL.
