The COVID-19 pandemic erupted at the beginning of 2020 and proved fatal, causing many casualties worldwide. Immediate and precise screening of affected patients is critical for disease control. COVID-19 is often confused with various other respirator...
3D cell culture models are important tools in translational research but have been out of reach for high-throughput screening due to complexity, requirement of large cell numbers and inadequate standardization. Microfluidics and culture model miniatu...
The Laboratory Automation Plug & Play (LAPP) framework is an over-arching reference architecture concept for the integration of robots in life science laboratories. The plug & play nature lies in the fact that manual configuration is not required, in...
The spot assay of the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an experimental method that is used to evaluate the effect of genotypes, medium conditions, and environmental stresses on cell growth and survival. Automation of the spot assay experimen...
As new technologies emerge, deep learning applications are often integral parts of new products as features and often as differentiating benefits. This is especially notable in commercial consumer products in everyday applications, such as voice assi...
In most small laboratories, many processes are not yet automated because existing laboratory automation solutions are usually expensive and inflexible to use. Examples of this are autosamplers that are only compatible with one specific laboratory ins...
Fundamental life science and pharmaceutical research are continually striving to provide physiologically relevant context for their biological studies. Zebrafish present an opportunity for high-content screening (HCS) to bring a true in vivo model sy...
Single-cell isolation is a truly transformative tool for the understanding of biological systems. It allows single-cell molecular analyses and considers the heterogeneity of cell populations, which is of particular relevance for the diagnosis and tre...
Increasing the level of automation in pharmaceutical laboratories and production facilities plays a crucial role in delivering medicine to patients. However, the particular requirements of this field make it challenging to adapt cutting-edge technolo...
The outbreak of COVID-19 has introduced a significant stress on the healthcare systems of many countries. The availability of quick and reliable screening methodologies can be regarded as the keystone approach to mitigate the spread of the infection ...
