From URS to Validated Production: Why Most Custom Automation Projects Fail
Pick any custom automation project that ran over time and budget: somewhere in the post-mortem, you will find the same handful of root causes. The instrument usually works, the team is usually competent, and, in the optimistic scenario, a User Requirements Specification (URS) was written, reviewed, and signed. This is not a story about bad […]
Designing a Validation-Ready Precision Dispensing Workstation: What Regulated Industries Need To Get Right
Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and related validation guidelines form the backbone of regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals or In Vitro Diagnostics (IVD). They establish global standards to ensure that products are consistently developed and manufactured safely, effectively, and of high quality. Vendors must support regulated industries with steady equipment performance, full traceability, and comprehensive documentation […]

Microliter, nanoliter or picoliter dispensing: small can be really BIG
Evolution-proof: good reasons for being small. Sure, microliters, nanoliters and picoliters all sound small. But just like an elephant, a koala, and a Etruscan shrew (the smallest mammal in the world), evolution has shown that even small ones can be giants, too! Precision microdispensing deals in these tiny volumes, where even a small difference can […]
Spatial Proteomics: Charting the Protein Landscape in Tissues
Understanding the spatial organization of proteins within tissues is crucial for unraveling the complexities of cellular behavior, disease progression, and therapeutic responses. Spatial proteomics bridges the gap left by traditional untargeted bulk analyses, offering unprecedented insights into regulatory networks at cellular and inter-cellular levels. In this blog, we explore the fundamentals of this experimental approach, its challenges, […]
Miniaturizing ELISA: How Precision Microdispensing Enables High-Sensitivity, Low-Volume Assays
Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISAs) have long been the benchmark for detecting analytes in clinical and research settings. While effective, traditional ELISAs are resource-intensive, time-consuming to perform, and ill-suited for high-throughput, multiplex applications. As scientific workflows demand faster and more cost-efficient solutions, it is clear that the classic format needs a modern upgrade. Miniaturized ELISAs offer […]
