In the field of laboratory science, accuracy and precision in liquid handling are essential. This webinar brings together two expert voices from different laboratory specialties to examine the shared reality that liquid handling performance is critically important.
The first speaker, Andrew Hurder, a Field Application Scientist at Artel, brings a unique perspective from the front lines of liquid handling quality assurance. Drawing from his experience supporting automation in a wide range of high throughput laboratories, Andrew will discuss how the Artel Multichannel Verification System (MVS) empowers labs to independently verify the performance of their automated liquid handlers.
He will highlight how volume verification protocols can uncover underperforming instruments and enable technical teams to diagnose and resolve issues efficiently. His insights will emphasize the value of proactive verification in maintaining compliance, reducing costs, and ensuring reliable results across diverse laboratory settings.
In contrast, the second speaker, Candie Gilman, an Education & Training Manager at Artel, a leader in liquid handling quality assurance, brings years of experience from certifying hundreds of scientists and analysts on proper pipetting technique.
She will explore how the Artel PCS (Pipette Calibration System) can be leveraged as a training tool to elevate pipetting proficiency across laboratory teams. Attendees will learn how to integrate the PCS into technician onboarding and ongoing competency programs, use its real-time feedback to correct technique, and interpret performance data to identify training needs.
Through case studies and live demonstrations, we’ll showcase how labs have improved accuracy, reduced variability, and built a culture of quality with the Artel PCS.
Together, these two perspectives will illuminate the universal importance of accurate and reliable liquid handling — regardless of lab type, scale, or mission.
Join the featured speakers to explore:
- The risks of imprecise liquid handling and how to mitigate them
- Best practices for verifying and calibrating liquid handling instruments
- Strategies for building a culture of precision and accountability in the lab
- Real-world examples of how precision impacts outcomes in diagnostics and therapeutics
Register for this webinar to gain the knowledge and tools needed to elevate lab performance and strengthen the reliability of liquid handling — from pipettes to automated systems — whether in clinical diagnostics, pharmaceutical R&D, quality assurance or lab operations.
