When you work in a lab, it’s crucial to keep track of labware involved in experiments, and not just specimen tubes and vials. Proper labeling is vital for the success of experiments and helps you and your colleagues avoid confusion. By labeling each item used in experiments clearly, you can prevent errors, saving time and …
Gene and cell therapy research often involves the labeling of multiple samples, which can be a tedious and time-consuming task. Traditional labeling methods such as hand labeling or adhesive labels can be error-prone, especially when done at such a high volume, and the repetitive nature contributes to staff burnout and churn. However, TubeWriter’s direct printing …
Core facilities, or core labs, are shared, centralized facilities within research institutions that provide external research teams with access to instruments, technologies, and services (such as consultation and sample processing) that they might not otherwise have access to. External labs are then able to make use of cutting-edge equipment in designing and executing experiments, without …
