President Nucleus Automation Partners Jarrell, Texas, United States
Description: This session provides a practical and real-world perspective on the process one goes through in migrating a molecular assay from a manual process to automation. This session will highlight the sometimes overlooked or underestimated aspects of the lab automation process that can make automation harder than it needs to be.
Learning Objectives: - Prepare for an automation project, setting realistic timeframes for project execution while understanding the complexities and nuance of transitioning an assay to automation in the real-world. - Devise a systematic approach to automation that will help avoid common pitfalls and time-consuming setbacks. - Assess the assay workflow in conjunction with sample handling logistics (e.g. barcode labels) and data management (e.g. LIMS/LIS integration).
