Comparing The Automated Pipetting To Volumetric Glassware And Air Displacement Pipettes
Analytical sample preparation is used in many industries such as forensics, environmental chemistry, mining, beer and wine fermentation and many others. Concentrated samples are diluted and analyzed via High Performance Liquid Chromatography, Gas Chromatography, Atomic Absorption, and/or Inductively Coupled Plasma Spectroscopy to name a few. Traditionally these samples are prepared using volumetric glassware, syringes and/or pipettes.

CD69 Expression On Activated Lymphocytes Is Stable In Streck's Cyto-Chex® BCT
The purpose of this study was to determine if the activation marker, CD69, is preserved and stable in whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex® BCT. Previous studies have demonstrated CD marker stability of whole blood samples collected in Cyto-Chex BCT for up to 7 days when stored at room temperature (18-22°C). By Jodi Alt, Ph.D
