Biosafety Enclosures and the Automated Lab: Steps for Success

Webinar Abstract:
Automated lab instruments such as liquid handlers and cell sorters are increasingly common in all types of laboratories, driving fast results for laboratory technicians and researchers. Safely containing automated instruments used for preparation of biohazardous samples can be challenging due size, ergonomics, and cost. This webinar will cover biosafety considerations for laboratories implementing automated instruments and will discuss safe and effective methods for containment of multiple types of automated instruments. Join Labconco’s Director of Biosafety Products, David Wasescha, and Tecan’s Director of Application Sciences, Simon Fogarty, for this informative webinar.
