In a first step, the new tool asks users to specify the particular nature of their sample. They do so by selecting from a discrete set of buttons to describe the properties of their sample. The logic implemented in quICk finder™ allows to choose any meaningful combination of sample properties. quICk finder™ instantly translates the user’s choice into the sequence of automated sample preparation techniques that are best suited to prepare their particular sample.
Circle no. 300
However, the new tool does not stop there. Once the appropriate method has been identified, users have direct access to detailed information about the specific solution – including instrumentation, applications and implementation in the laboratory.
quICk finder™ puts an end to wasting time and money on puzzling out the right technique for sample preparation in IC. The door to the most efficient IC system ever is wide open!
