Laboratory Markers of Risk for Cardiovascular Disease Lipoprotein

Development of new drugs and research on biology on the molecular level is developing so rapidly that many new techniques cannot be manually performed. The assistance of laboratory robotics is essential to the future of processing lab specimens, as well as giving tremendous benefits such as, providing a completely sterile lab environment at all times and cutting down on problems that arise from human error. This issue deals with many of these advantages in this small but quickly expanding area of Laboratory Medicine. Keywords include: Robotics, Automation, Sterile Lab, Specimen Processing
