Initially, work in 96 well microplat...384 Well Pipetting Precision and Accuracy Testing Using the Sciclone Advanced Liquid Handler
Caliper Life Sciences Inc, Applications Laboratory, Hopkinton, Massachusetts, USA Initially, work in 96 well microplates was commonly carried out using manual pipetting. As the demand for greater throughput of plate processing has grown, automated liquid handling has become a nece...Improving the accuracy and speed of mammalian cell counting
The skill of culturing mammalian cells successfully requires consistent, accurate measurements of cell growth and viability. Cell counts must be taken daily, a task that is not only tedious and time consuming, but also prone to error because of operator subjectivity. To that e...Technology could enhance accuracy of breast biopsy
MADISON - A new technology developed by a research group headed by Nimmi Ramanujam, assistant professor of biomedical engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, will be a "third eye" during breast biopsies and can increase the chance for an accurate clinical diagnosis of breast cancer. Doctors currently use X-ray or ultrasound - two-dimensional pictures - to guide the biopsy nee...Robotic Assisted Knee Replacement Surgery Has Improved Accuracy
The surgical outcome of partial knee replacement surgery has been has been found to be better owing to superior accuracy of robot assisted knee surgery compared to conventional surgery, // according to a latest study by researchers from Imperial College London. The research team, headed by Professor Justin Cobb and his surgical team set to examine the surgical outcome of patients who...Accuracy of Some Natural Family Planning Methods Questioned .
Women who use menstrual cycle monitors to detect their fertile times of the month should research their choices carefully because some methods are much more reliable than others.// German researchers estimate 10 percent to 15 percent of women of reproductive age in Europe use variations of natural family planning methods and an estimated 30 percent to 40 percent rely on some type of men...Accuracy Of Lung Function Test Questioned
Spirometry is one of the most common pulmonary lung function tests. It is used to test for a variety of lung problems and to determine the effectiveness // of treatment. The patient takes a deep breath and breathes out with force into a spirometer to the best of their ability. The spirometer measures both the amount of air expelled and how quickly the air was expelled from the lungs.New research...Setting Standards: Benchmark Medical Tests to Gauge Accuracy of Medical Tests
Medical tests have become a household name as a guide or reference for remedial treatment measures. Is there a standard that gauges the accuracy level of these medical tests. // Researchers use a Gold standard, a bench mark test against which is compared the medical test in question, to gauge the preciseness of the result or measure the deviation. Generally Gold standard benchmark tests...
