We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Lab Automation",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Laboratorytalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release A look ahead to Lab Automation 2008 from
SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor, which we summarised at the time by saying "Nest week sees the Lab Automation exhibition and conference at Palm Springs, California, at which many leading suppliers will launch new and updated equipment. Russ
Swan provides this preview".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Technology steps up in counterfeit drug battle from
SPECIAL REPORT by the Editor: "Fake pharmaceuticals offer fast profits for their unscrupulous manufacturers, at the expense of the health of the unwitting victims but, reports Russ Swan, technology may hold the answer".
In November 2007, we covered the news from Velocity11
- take a look at Agilent Technologies buys Velocity11
which says: "The acquisition will enable Agilent to offer a more comprehensive suite of workflow solutions to its life science customers in the pharmaceutical, biotech and academic research markets".
Take a look also at the news release from Anachem, The ultimate in nano liquid handling technology?,
as well as Exhibitors confirm attendance at Lab 2007 from Leipziger Messe,
and Cool Muscle motors for superior lab automation from Reliance Precision.
