Artel Scientist to Scientist Podcast: Recent Episodes
Travis
Listen to the Scientist to Scientist Podcast series, brought to you by Artel. Join host Kartlon Moore as he and his guests discuss everything from how to optimize your assay to implementing a pipette training program.
Listen to Karlton’s guest speakers, Dr. Nathaniel Heintz and John Derent, as they review important factors to consider before buying your ALH (such as budget, facilities, expertise and functionality). “Installation is just the beginning” they warn as they discuss how labs can take full advantage of automation by implementing a quality program (including calibration, interim verification and preventive maintenance), and describe a simple 4 step method for liquid class optimization, a key process when transferring manual procedures to automated platforms.
This year marks an especially important milestone in ISO standards for laboratory equipment, with the release of the updated ISO 8655 for manual handheld devices, and the new ISO 23873 for automated liquid handlers, harmonizing best practices and providing one cohesive set of policies.
Join Karlton Moore for this eagerly awaited interview with Dr. George Rodrigues, VP of Scientific Affairs at Artel, as they discuss why those new standards are important for life science labs to improve data quality, lab productivity and ensure regulatory compliance. This lively duo covers the differences between calibrations and routine verifications, touching on multichannel pipettes, volume settings, number of replicates and maximum permissible error.
As the US federal program known as “Operation Warp Speed” officially launched in May 2020 to facilitate the development of COVID-19 vaccines and other therapeutics, many CROs entered the race against the disease. Listen to Karlton Moore exclusive interview with Weston Auchmoody, automation specialist at PPD at the time, as he described how Artel instruments helped him and his team scale up their operations, circumvent supply chain issues, and decrease their instruments down time to ensure the vaccine got out in record time.
