A good lab practice tip is to make the replacement of your filters or frits a part of your system’s preventative maintenance routine. Typically maintenance occurs every six months to one year. There will be times when you will need to change your filter or frit in addition to the regularly-scheduled changes.

When analytical scientists review their HPLC laboratory set-ups, they typically have a couple goals in mind. How can we enhance the performance of the system and produce repeatable, certifiable results? What methods could we implement to increase the efficiency of the system? To work through these goals, an often overlooked but key element to consider is the degasser.

When designing integrated microfluidic consumables, it is important to understand the assay workflow, the functionality of the consumable, and how to scale the consumable for the markets you are looking to penetrate. All aspects of microfluidic consumable design can be carefully reviewed and strategically implemented with what we call an Assay and Reagent Plan.

Life science instruments are typically designed and developed by experts from various specialties. These experts are primarily focused on differentiating their own core technology in fluidics, imaging and illumination, microfluidics, and sub-systems. When it comes time to commercialize their science into an engineered solution, problems can arise.
