How electronic pipettes and pipetting robots can streamline qPCR set-up for faster and more reproducible results

A cloud-based platform enables researchers to effectively manage their laboratories.

Syrris has joined the photochemistry movement with its new Asia Photochemistry Reactor. The latest addition to the company’s award-winning Asia Flow Chemistry range, the Asia Photochemistry Reactor enables a host of novel photochemistry applications in flow across a variety of sectors – including pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, agrochemicals and fine chemicals, as well as in academic institutions.

The IoT can link up many facets of research—from laboratory equipment to ideas—but scientists must be ready for the questions its implementation could raise.

Machine-learning algorithms can automate the analysis of cell images and data.

Automating Drosophila behavior screens gives researchers a break from tedious observation, and enables higher-throughput, more-quantitative experiments than ever before.

Neuroscientists are automating neural imaging and recording, allowing them to monitor increasingly large swaths of the brain in living, behaving animals.
 

New technology probes the functional unit of nervous transmission.

A tour of three systems for automating cell culture

Out with toothpicks and pipettors; in with automation.

A virtual lab—where all sorts of parameters are monitored and recorded—promises researchers a higher degree of reproducibility.
