Human medicine laboratories
Human medical laboratories are specialized facilities that perform diagnostic analyses of patient samples to detect and monitor diseases and guide therapies. Current challenges include ensuring high quality standards according to Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and adapting to technological advances. Trends such as the digitalization of laboratory processes, automation, and the integration of artificial intelligence are shaping the industry. These developments aim to increase efficiency, minimize error rates, and enable more precise diagnoses.

In the lab, a bio-engineered pathogen identification device significantly reduces the amount of host DNA to allow the PCR primer to bind only to microbial sequences. At the end of the process, the success of the DNA reduction is measured by the sample weight. The weight is also a parameter to validate the device. A precision balance is used for this process

OBN 135C825

The goal of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is to visualize potential human chromosomal abnormalities or bacterial ribosomal DNA using DNA probes labeled with a fluorescent dye. The fluorescence microscope is the tool of choice for this.

OBN 148

With the in vitro method, tissue samples are placed in a Petri dish under microscopic control. Due to the three-dimensional nature of the specimen, it is important to use a microscope that focuses on the spatial impression. This facilitates precise placement.

OZM 544

At the beginning of most laboratory analyzes there is the weighing of a sample or chemical for the sample batch. Laboratory scales also serve as an important measuring tool for checking dosing devices such as pipettes.

EWJ 600-2M

When examining human body fluids for microbial contamination, the host DNA must be reduced. To check the success, the sample is weighed before and after the reduction. The analytical balance is ideal for this
