Oxidative stress induced by excessive levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) underlies several diseases. Therapeutic strategies to combat oxidative damage are, therefore, a subject of intense scientific investigation to prevent and treat such diseas...
The inverse relationship between the cost of drug development and the successful integration of drugs into the market has resulted in the need for innovative solutions to overcome this burgeoning problem. This problem could be attributed to several f...
The clinical team attending to a patient upon a diagnosis is faced with two main questions: what treatment, and at what dose? Clinical trials' results provide the basis for guidance and support for official protocols that clinicians use to base their...
The demand for efficient and qualified measurements is high. The measurements of physical parameters in industrial environments usually are automatically executed using process measurement technologies. The close coupling of the measurement system an...
This article presents the design and development of a new hands-free ultrasonication robot for filamentous fungi homogenization. The platform was constructed with a modified inexpensive 3D printer, equipped with an upward-facing camera, a custom-desi...
During process development, the experimental search space is defined by the number of experiments that can be performed in specific time frames but also by its sophistication (e.g., inputs, sensors, sampling frequency, analytics). High-throughput liq...
Affordable and physiologically relevant three-dimensional (3D) cell-based assays used in high-throughput screening (HTS) are on the rise in early drug discovery. These technologies have been aided by the recent adaptation of novel microplate treatmen...
Exclusive liquid repellency (ELR) describes an extreme wettability phenomenon in which a liquid phase droplet is completely repelled from a solid phase when exposed to a secondary immiscible liquid phase. Earlier, we developed a multi-liquid-phase op...
The demand for automation in the analytical laboratory is high. In contrast to well-automated bioscreening and high-throughput and high-content screening processes, analytical measurement procedures are complex in their structure and changing frequen...
The advancement of synthetic biology requires the ability to create new DNA sequences to produce unique behaviors in biological systems. Automation is increasingly employed to carry out well-established assembly methods of DNA fragments in a multiple...
