In the Zone: old vs new technologies


INFOGRAPHIC | PODCAST | RESOURCES

Investing in new technologies in the field of bioanalysis has its obvious advantages. New technologies often offer improved data quality and accuracy; better efficiency cutting costs and time of analysis; and ethical solutions in the reduction of animals required for testing.

However, there are key obstacles in the implementation of new technologies, such as financial and regulatory constraints, which could encourage decision makers to stay with older, outdated or more traditional analytical methodologies.

In this feature, we will be looking at the evolution of technologies over the last century, focusing on the developments and advancements in large molecule analysis.

Throughout the feature, we will be investigating the pros and cons of utilizing the different technologies available for large molecule analysis, and will consult with experts to answer the key questions involved when choosing a technology for analytical research.
