We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Sample Processing",
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 Qiasymphony SP wins new product award from
Qiagen, which we summarised at the time by saying "Qiagen's new modular platform for sample and assay processing, QIAsymphony SP, has received the renowned new product award (NPA) designation of the Association for Laboratory Automation (ALA)".
A few weeks before,
we featured the news release Qualification and calibration of Proteinchip Seldi from
Bio-Rad Laboratories: "Owners of either a ProteinChip Seldi Enterprise system or ProteinChip Seldi Personal System can now improve long-term reproducibility by qualifying their systems relative to standard specifications".
In September 2007, we covered the news from Olympus UK
concerning its RequestVision
- take a look at Test request management system streamlines GP work
which says: "Olympus has introduced a new pathology test request management system, RequestVision, to streamline the complete process of patient test ordering through to laboratory results".
Take a look also at the news release from Hamilton Great Britain, Automated system speeds microarray preparation,
as well as Midwest Laboratories selects iCAP 6000 Series from Thermo Fisher Scientific (Elemental Analysis),
and More quality and choice in deepwell plates from Eppendorf UK.
