Webinar

As scientists and science enthusiasts, we often have a love/hate relationship with technology. On one hand it enables us to do things better, faster, or more nimbly. On the other hand it sometimes creates controversies, complications and difficult questions. The advent of revolutionary ideas like AI and cloud computing in the lab space is no different. Join us for a discussion among experts in the field, including leading AI technology serial entrepreneur Jean Fallacara, as they explore outcomes of forward-thinking tech in labs today.

If you work in an environmental testing facility or utilise these services, you must be aware of the challenges faced when conducting metals testing in environmental samples. Sub-par and inconsistent processing can often cause confusion, frustration and delays to your important projects.

Best Practices for Maintaining Quality in Molecular Diagnostic Testing

The announcement of a proficiency testing (PT) round, or scheme, can invoke a variety of responses from anxiety to resignation. Very few analysts look forward to performing these checks and sometimes feel they are being put on the spot and judged. In fact, a PT is used to evaluate laboratory and analyst performance, but it is not analogous to those dreaded college finals which one had to pass; instead, it is a tool of a quality management system to review methods and performance to weed out error and improve laboratory functions. This webinar will look at the best practices for achieving the passing results for PT analysis and tips on what to look at when challenged by a PT.

Chromatography and spectroscopy are the most common analytical techniques in the organic laboratory. By understanding the operation and chemistry involved in these processes, you can optimize your analyses and eliminate errors. This presentation will explore ways to improve organic analyses with information regarding best practices and lab hacks to aid in the organic laboratory.

Trace inorganic analysis is an essential part of the analytical testing world. In many cases contamination can alter or skew elemental analysis providing inaccurate results. In this webinar, the sources of contamination and methods or controlling error will be discussed with practical best practices for inorganic trace analysis.

This presentation will examine the definitions, function and roles of standards and CRMs as well as the current accreditations, regulations, and challenges. We will look at the proper uses, dilutions, and analysis of standards to reduce error and their role in method validation and verification.

Molecular diagnostics has rapidly become one of the leading technologies for infectious disease testing around the world. These technologies allow for rapid detection, greater sensitivity, and more accurate diagnoses. For these reasons, it is imperative that laboratories administer a well-defined quality assessment of their tests to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. Implementation of full-process, external quality controls (QC) can assess the integrity of the entire test system to ensure the consistency of the produced and reported results by the molecular laboratory.

The Science of Real Life Webinar Series. With the rise of industrial products and processes, we have seen a dramatic increase in the amount of electronic waste in our landfills over the last few decades. This has created a significant upsurge in hazardous leachates and heavy metals accumulation in our environment, ecosystem, and food chain.

Whether you are directly involved in maintaining cold-chain or routinely handle temperature-controlled items, it is essential to understand the importance of cold storage and transport; temperature monitoring, as well as the need for maintaining indisputable traceability throughout the cold chain

Watch this informative webinar on Nucleic Acid Sample Preparation for PCR/qPCR and Sequencing
