Microbial samples can change quickly. From sample stabilization to disruption and nucleic acid purification, standardization of protocols and processes ensure reliable and reproducible results. And when you’re ready, scaling sample processing with automation can increase your lab’s efficiency while establishing inter- and intra-laboratory consistency.

You will learn:

• Sample stabilization: how to ensure the sample your data reflects the sample in its natural environment at the moment of collection.
• Nucleic acid purification: how PCR inhibitors and host-DNA that slipped through the purification process can effect your results.
• Automation: which instrument fits you labs sample time, throughput and budget.
• Standardization: how to increase the reliability of samples processed in your lab or in among labs in different locations.
