Liquid handling forum goes live
An online forum dedicated to pipetting and automated liquid handling quality was launched recently, providing a means for scientists to discuss liquid handling issues and developments with peers and specialists around the world.
Sponsored by US liquid handling solutions provider Artel, Liquid Handling Talk (LHTalk.org) is open to all laboratory professionals involved in the practice and science of small-volume liquid handling.
Its mission is to provide an unbiased, open platform that is helpful to its members and true to the idea that sound science and thoughtful innovation comprise the foundation for advancing the quality of liquid handling processes.
The interactive, peer-to-peer forum provides guidance on best practices, product performance, techniques, quality control, compliance and troubleshooting, for all liquid handling products ranging from manual handheld pipettes to robotic liquid handlers.
