Analytik Jena - an EndressHauser Company training

The automation of liquid handling and laboratory processes will become more and more important for facing the challenges of today`s laboratory`s. With respect to the raising number of samples and requirements, customers are faced with a lot of questions and challenges when deciding for automating their workflows. Important aspects are the budget, lab space, number of samples, the so called "walk-away-time" and the reduction of human prone errors, to name here a few.

Hepatitis virus infections concern people all over the world. According to estimates by the World Health Organisation (WHO, 2019), 71 million people are chronically infected with HCV. In 2016, the WHO published a Global Health Sector Strategy for the elimination of viral hepatitis. One important pillar of the program is to make treatment and diagnostics accessible and affordable for people in need. Approximately 260 million individuals worldwide are chronically infected with HBV, with highest prevalence in the WHO Western Pacific Region and the WHO African Region. Drugs like tenofovir or entecavir are recommended for treatment. However, these substances only suppress viral replication. As a result, lifelong treatment is necessary for individuals with HBV infection, and regular monitoring (after 4 weeks, 12 weeks and every 3-6 months) via quantitative real-time PCR should be carried out.

Along the process of the production of metals and alloys, an accurate assessment of elemental contents is of great importance for the profitability and efficiency of mining sites, the process control in smelters and foundries as well as for the quality control of final products. Here the demands of the different stakeholders differ in terms of analytical tasks and environmental conditions of testing sites. This seminar discusses the demands of different metal processing stages, from ores to high-purity metals, and presents ideal atomic spectrometry solutions such as AAS and ICP-OES for a robust, timely and reliable analysis of a wide range of elemental parameters in mining and metal samples.

The CyBio Application Studio Software is designed to be a user-friendly interface for running CyBio Composer Scripts on the CyBio FeliX. The surface design is freely configurable and thus adaptable for different applications. The front end of the Application Studio has an intuitive interface for each of use via touch screen or keyboard and mouse. The software leads the user through setting up the CyBio FeliX ready for operation, supplying key information such as where to place labware, via message boxes and graphics. When the application is started, key information such as parameters of the workflow can be indicated, avoiding the need to program these. User guides that provide step by step instructions and notes regarding the preparation of reagents and instrument set up are also available.

In this web seminar Analytik Jena experts present some new technological advancements and customer-oriented solutions in the field of elemental analysis that will support you in mastering application challenges of edible oils.

The utilization and therefore the production of fluorinated organic compounds with highly resistant properties is constantly growing. Associated is an increased occurrence of such compounds in the environment. A sensitive screening method of extractable organically bound fluorine (EOF) as sum parameter in surface waters combines solid phase extraction (SPE) and molecular absorption spectrometry (MAS) and enables a fast monitoring of the pollution.

The CyBio Composer is an automation control software suited for single instruments and small robotic workstations like CyBio FeliX. Native access to all instrument functions as well as a fully developed scripting language leave nothing to chance while automating your laboratory workflow on CyBio FeliX. The centrepiece of automation of a manual assay focuses on the optimization of all liquid transfer steps, tailored to the requirements of the substances used. In this web seminar we will focus on the actual purpose of a liquid handling robot and learn more about the optimization of liquid handling steps on the programming level.

For real-time PCR and/or real-time RT-PCR in context of the detection of viral RNA such as SARS-CoV-2 within the research environment sensitivity, specificity and reliability are essential properties. The challenges for reaching optimized results quickly lead to the consideration to automate the liquid handling of the qPCR setup. With the right approach and equipment, human intervention can be reduced, the workflow can be accelerated, and more reliable results can be achieved.

This event aims to give an overview of the basic principles of endpoint and real-time PCR. The specific advantages and also possible challenges will be addressed. Furthermore, useful fields of application will be outlined. Target group: Laboratory staff and scientists who are interested in an introduction to the basics of PCR and qPCR.

The CyBio Composer is an automation control software suited for single instruments and small robotic workstations. Native access to all instrument functions as well as a fully developed scripting language leave nothing to chance while automating your laboratory workflow. The scripting environment rich with variables, loops, conditional statements, subroutines and much more, provides straightforward and swift sequential as well as parallel instrument control. In this webinar you get an impression of the CyBio Composer’s intuitive click and drag interface. You learn in some simple examples, how fast and easy users can program their very own pipetting methods with the CyBio Composer Software.
