Automated Liquid Handling
Automated Liquid Handling

The VERSATM automated liquid handling systems satisfy stringent laboratory requirements. Laboratory automation has revolutionized the way scientists do research - maximizing accuracy, precision and throughput while minimizing time and consumable costs. Aurora’s versatile robotic automated liquid handling systems demonstrate that lab automation provides a simple, cost-effective and dependable solution allowing scientists to maximize their potential while also enabling many general liquid handling protocols.

Elemental Analysis
Elemental Analysis

TRACE atomic absorption spectrometers and LUMINA Atomic Fluorescence Spectrometers provide precise elemental analysis solutions suitable for any laboratory. For a complete solution, researchers with protocols requiring preliminary sample preparation prior to analysis may use Aurora’s TRANSFORM microwave digestion systems capable of detecting over 70 different elements, with detection ranges in the parts per million (PPM), parts per billion (PPB) and parts per trillion (PPT) levels.

Ion Channel Technology
Ion Channel Technology

Aurora Biomed focuses on ion channel screening services for drug discovery and innovative high-throughput ion channel screening technology designed to address the recent shift of resources in the pharmaceutical industry towards addressing drug safety issues early in the discovery process. Drug-induced QT-prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias and the emergence of the S7B, E14 guidance documents for drug safety assessment necessitate the identification of drug safety issues as soon as possible.
