How VolumeSense by Menisence Ensures Accurate Volume Measurements for Labs
As a scientist in a life science lab, you routinely use liquid handling robots to dispense or transfer small volumes of liquid reagents and samples into microplanes to perform analytical assays or diagnostic tests.
Unfortunately, these liquid handlers introduce variability that can be hard to detect.
So how can you be sure of your results?
What if you could verify each volume in your plate?
VolumeSense allows you to do just that!
With this unique new system, you can measure actual volumes in your labware and quickly identify where volume errors may have compromised your results.
You can make better decisions faster with confidence.
VolumeSense uses interferometry to measure the volume of liquid in each well of a microplate.
The measurement begins by splitting a light beam into two. One of these beams travels toward the sample while the other travels a known reference path. Light reflected at the liquid surface and light reflected in the reference path is recombined into a single beam and measured by a detector. By measuring this recombined beam, VolumeSense determines the elevation of the meniscus with very high accuracy. It combines this elevation with the known shape of the wells to calculate the volume of liquid in each well.
VolumeSense:
measures most liquid types and works with 96 and 384 well plates as well as some types of microtubes.
leaves your samples completely unaffected.
allows you to optimize your process volumes using your reagents and your labware.
helps you to correct liquid handler problems early before your work is affected.
verifies volumes individually and generate better data.
