ARTEL to Launch Liquid Handler Performance Verification Service at Lab Automation 2007


Provides Independent Assurance of Data Integrity for all Models

Westbrook, ME (October 16, 2006) - To provide laboratories with robust, timely and efficient assurance of their equipment performance, ARTEL is announcing its new Liquid Handler Performance Verification service at Lab Automation 2007, Palm Springs Convention Center, CA, January 27-31, Booth #438. Part of the company's new LDQATM (Liquid Delivery Quality Assurance) suite of services, Liquid Handler Performance Verification will supply laboratories with third-party, documented assessment of the accuracy and precision of their equipment.

The new service provides performance results traceable to national standards, therefore ensuring repeatability between procedures, between liquid handlers and between locations - hence efficient method transfer as well as regulatory compliance. The performance of liquid handlers can also be checked for serial dilution dispensing and for delivery of non-aqueous reagents. All makes and models of liquid handlers can be verified, from single to 384 channel devices, thereby giving laboratories complete confidence in the performance of their equipment.
