Automated Liquid Handler Considerations
We recently interviewed two industry leaders, Dr. Nathaniel Hentz, Vice President, Artel, and John Derent, Account Manager, Artel, to talk about how automated liquid handlers can conserve time and staff resources to improve productivity. Artel and Clinical Lab Manager collaborated on this recent article, as published on Clinical

Improve Automated Workflows and Boost Assay Performance
Employing a process optimization approach to assay development involves breaking down the assay workflow into smaller modules, such as a mixing step or a reagent addition step, and then measuring and optimizing each module individually using MVS technology. Once the assay is optimized to its fullest extent, the biology is incorporated for the final phase.<
When one of Takeda’s quality control facilities wanted to improve assay success rates by reducing liquid handling variability, they turned to Artel. See how the MVS helps their assay process.
Dozens of assays
At any given time, Takeda’s quality control facility runs as many as a dozen different assays. Keeping them all performing within specifications can be time-consuming.

When your test results affect criminal and other legal proceedings, getting data you can trust is critical. See how Sorenson improved efficiency while meeting quality requirements by using the PCS.
>12 hours & $5,000 saved each year
Surprisingly, calibrating pipettes in-house with the PCS took less time than packing, shipping, and unpacking pipettes when they were calibrated off-site.
With in-house calibration using the PCS&n
Delivering high-quality data to fast-moving pharma and biotech clients can be challenging. To ensure productivity while meeting stringent quality goals for their clients, XenoTech turns to the MVS.
Results within 20% of 1 standard deviation
To ensure that their automated liquid handlers meet strict specifications so that assay results from replicates stay within 20% of one standard deviation, SEKISUI XenoTech uses an MVS.
10x Faster calibrat
To help customers maximize uptime and optimize the performance of their automated liquid handlers, Tecan’s Te-Care service program relies on the Artel technology in their QC Kit for volume verifications.
less than 30 Minutes per instrument
Using the QC Kit with Artel’s proprietary technology, a Te-Care service representative can assess the accuracy and precision of a system’s volume transfers quickly and efficiently.

With over 1,500 pipettes spread across 71 departments, standardized calibration procedures are a must. See how the PCS helped ARUP labs decentralize and standardize pipette calibration for improved quality and productivity.
Calibration Efficiency
Spreading calibration responsibilities to individual groups, each with their own PCS, and standardizing processes greatly increased the efficiency of keeping ARUP’s >1,500 pipettes calibrated.
What started as two local businesses supporting each other has grown into a valuable decade-spanning relationship based on the common goals of reliable patient test results.
