Addressing the 8 Process Wastes in Sample Preparation

8 Wastes icon Defects

Defects

caused by the addition of a wrong reagent to your sample, sample mix-up during preparation or transcription errors can be largely eliminated from your process as the CellMek SPS automates and traces the entire process from specimen input to sample ready to analyze.
