  • A fantastic tool for automating areas of assays with high potential for analyst error.

    The Microlab Prep is a fantastic tool for automating areas of assays with high potential for analyst error. Not only will the machine run portions of assays with 100% accuracy, it will allow analysts to work on other lab functions while the Microlab is operating, boosting our lab efficiency. The software makes programming assays simple.
