Abstract: The present invention is a comprehensive method and related system comprising software, instrumentation, consumables and services (calibration, training, and repair) in a platform system for management of handheld pipettes and automated liquid handling systems (ALBS). The system optimizes confidence in test results, control of liquid handling processes, productivity, and simplicity in operation, by significantly improving the experience in ownership, usage, and service of liquid handling instruments. The system is a turnkey solution integrating multiple technology approaches to provide real-time on-line feedback to the devices and to device users, as well as real-time connection to Electronic Lab Notebooks (ELN), Laboratory Information Management Systems (LEVIS) and training databases.

Abstract: Method for validating the accuracy of automated analyzers by performing an improved dual dye ratio method procedure that uses at least first and second dye solutions in combination with gravimetric measurement of selected test solutions.
