ARTEL Educational Session at CLMA ThinkLab ‘08
Establishing a Molecular Diagnostics Laboratory
 |
Session #810, Tuesday, April 1, 2008, 1:15 PM – 4:00 PM
Managerial, technical, and operational aspects
of a successful molecular testing laboratory
of a successful molecular testing laboratory
A panel of leading experts in establishing and managing molecular testing
laboratories will provide an introduction and field questions from the
audience.
Guided by the panelists, participants will work in groups to devise the
managerial, technical, and operational details of a ‘virtual laboratory’ designed to perform molecular tests suggested by the participants. Finally,
participants will ‘construct’ their Virtual Molecular Testing Laboratory by presenting each group’s results.
Expert panelists
Dr. Gregory J. Tsongalis, HCLD, FACB
Director, Molecular Pathology, Co-Director, Pharmacogenomics, Associate
Professor, Pathology, Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Center, Lebanon, New
Hampshire.
Dr. Clark A. Rundell, FACB
Vice President of Research, Maine Molecular Quality Controls, Inc. (MMQCI),
Scarborough, Maine.
Dr. Frederick S. Nolte
Director, Clinical Laboratories, Professor, Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, South
Carolina.
Can’t attend on Tuesday?
ARTEL’s Pipetting Proficiency Training and Certification Seminars offer instruction and guidance for managers who have the task of understanding regulatory requirements and/or establishing an
internal quality assurance program for their pipettes.
Take control of your liquid handling process.
Verification for your automated liquid handlers
and multichannel pipettes
and multichannel pipettes
• Quickly and easily verifies accuracy & precision of target volumes ranging from 10 nL to 350 µL.
• Quantifies accuracy of dilution steps and allows determination of true reagent
concentrations well-by-well.
• ISO-conforming method and NIST-traceable measurements give you confidence in
your results.
Calibration, interim verification, and inventory management for your
single-channel pipettes
• Calibrates in minutes, even at volumes as low as 0.1 µL.
• Allows you to check accuracy & precision easily before critical procedures.
• ISO-conforming method, NIST-traceable measurements.

ARTEL Pipetting Olympics
Go for the GOLD in your own lab
Looking for a unique way to celebrate Lab Week?
Consider hosting the ARTEL Pipetting Olympics in your laboratory. It’s a great way to have fun, build team spirit and bolster pipetting proficiency.
Lab Teams compete to win ARTEL Olympic Medals and Team prizes. Register your
lab at ARTEL Booth #901 at CLMA ThinkLab ’08 or visit our Lab Week page for more information.
Pipetting Proficiency
Training & Certification Seminars
Through years of experience, ARTEL has developed The ARTEL Method™, a curriculum for improving pipetting proficiency. The course has come to be
highly respected among laboratory professionals throughout the country. These
seminars promote the development of optimal, standardized pipetting technique,
as well as deepening understanding of compliance issues and best practices for
improving the liquid delivery process in the laboratory. Two levels of
certification are available (see chart).
Upcoming Sessions
Could pipetting technique be compromising results in your laboratory? To help you ensure that pipetting technique is not compromising your results,
ARTEL offers training & certification seminars on-site at your facility. For information, call
888-406-3463.
ARTEL
Extreme Pipetting Expedition
What the Expedition means to your laboratory
The results of these missions will help laboratories account for and/or
eliminate these major sources of potential error. The conditions we encounter
in these extreme environments, though severe in some cases, effectively
illustrate the changes that can be anticipated in the performance of your
pipettes. For a more detailed discussion of Expedition data and its relevance
to your everyday liquid handling processes, click here.
To discuss your own laboratory environment with our scientists, or for more
information on the Expedition, visit ARTEL in booth #901 at CLMA or visit the
Expedition web site.
