Abstract
In gel electrophoresis, samples that are dispensed too high above or too low into the wells result in sub-optimal outcomes. Here, an adapted 3D printer liquid handler equipped with an optical sensor was found to attain vertical sample delivery positionings at a standard deviation over mean ratio of 0.008. This illustrated high accuracy and repeatability outcomes achieved using automation that is cost effective and low in technical knowledge demand.
期刊介绍：
The journal''s title Analytical Biochemistry: Methods in the Biological Sciences declares its broad scope: methods for the basic biological sciences that include biochemistry, molecular genetics, cell biology, proteomics, immunology, bioinformatics and wherever the frontiers of research take the field.
The emphasis is on methods from the strictly analytical to the more preparative that would include novel approaches to protein purification as well as improvements in cell and organ culture. The actual techniques are equally inclusive ranging from aptamers to zymology.
The journal has been particularly active in:
-Analytical techniques for biological molecules-
Aptamer selection and utilization-
Biosensors-
Chromatography-
Cloning, sequencing and mutagenesis-
Electrochemical methods-
Electrophoresis-
Enzyme characterization methods-
Immunological approaches-
Mass spectrometry of proteins and nucleic acids-
Metabolomics-
Nano level techniques-
Optical spectroscopy in all its forms.
The journal is reluctant to include most drug and strictly clinical studies as there are more suitable publication platforms for these types of papers.
