Understanding the Importance of Low Volume Verification in Automated Liquid Handling

In recent years, automation in laboratories has become the backbone of various workflows, particularly in high-throughput environments such as genomics and quality control. However, one challenge that remains prevalent in these automated systems is the hidden variability that can affect results. This is where the concept of low volume verification becomes critical.

This upcoming free webinar hosted by Xtalks aims to shed light on how low volume pipetting verification can effectively mitigate assay risk and enhance the performance of liquid handling systems in laboratory environments. Professionals involved in automated liquid handling will find this particularly relevant, as the session will delve into the intricacies of ensuring precise and reliable dispensing operations.

Key Insights into Automated Liquid Handling

Automation does not eliminate variability; in fact, it can sometimes obscure it. Small dispensing inaccuracies coupled with channel-to-channel variability may go unnoticed until they culminate in significant issues, such as compromised assay quality and irreproducible data. Thus, understanding and addressing these factors are vital for maintaining operational efficiency and data integrity.

During the webinar, participants will learn about the importance of recognizing dispensing bias and variability inherent in automated workflows. Featured experts will discuss using quantitative verification as a diagnostic tool during routine checks and preventative maintenance, revealing performance issues before they escalate.

Practical Approaches to Improvement

The interactive session will cover practical strategies for enhancing low-volume and repeat dispensing performance by utilizing channel-level verification data collected under real operational conditions. An emphasis will be placed on how dual dye ratiometric photometry, as outlined in the ISO 23783-22022 standard, allows for rapid and standardized verification.

This method enables the assessment of accuracy and precision on a channel-by-channel basis directly within the microtiter plates, facilitating easier cross-site comparability and the creation of audit-ready documentation—a crucial aspect for regulated laboratories.

Who Will Benefit from This Webinar?

This webinar is a perfect fit for laboratory professionals, quality assurance specialists, and anyone involved in liquid handling automation who is keen on improving assay reproducibility. By attending, you will gain insights into how verification data can unveil hidden variability before it impacts experimental outcomes. The expert speakers scheduled for the event include Brian Seitz from Analytik Jena and Antoine Jacquot from Nova Biomedical, both of whom bring valuable industry experience to the discussion.
