Enhancing Laboratory Efficiency with Automated Serial Dilution
Serial dilution, a fundamental technique in laboratory workflows, systematically reduces the concentration of samples for various applications. This method involves adding a concentrated sample into a well, followed by sequential mixing with a fixed volume of diluent across multiple wells. Each step dilutes the sample further, creating a series of samples with decreasing concentrations.
Key Points:
- Method Overview: Serial dilution involves adding a concentrated sample into a well and mixing it with a fixed volume of diluent across multiple wells, resulting in samples with decreasing concentrations.
- Scalability: The extent of dilution varies based on the proportion of the sample mixed with the diluent at each step. Typical scenarios include twofold (2X) dilution series with equal volumes of sample and diluent.
Automating Serial Dilutions:
- Efficient Workflow: Automated multi-channel SOLO pipettors streamline serial dilutions by handling 8 to 12 samples simultaneously, depending on the number of channels used.
- Accelerated Process: Pairing the SOLO pipettor with a Micro10x reagent dispenser expedites dilution by quickly adding diluents to samples.
- Consistent Accuracy: Automation ensures precise and reproducible dilutions, minimizing errors and enhancing reliability for high-throughput screening and analysis.
