Multi-omics is an integrated research approach that combines multiple types of biological data to help researchers better understand complex disease mechanisms. Every cell can contain layers of genetic variation, gene expression changes, protein activity, metabolic shifts, and cell-to-cell differences. At the same time, limited samples are precious, and every workflow step—from collection and preparation to handling, storage, detection, and analysis—can introduce variability.
Thermo Scientific lab plastics and liquid handling products help protect sample integrity, reduce workflow risk, and support a reliable, scalable research across the multi-omics journey.
Which lab products are compatible with my multi-omic workflow?
Look for products that support the specific sample types and downstream applications in your workflow, such as genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, or epigenomics. Pipettes, tips, plates, tubes, and reservoirs should also be compatible with your instruments, automation systems, and assay protocols.
How can I protect sample integrity throughout the workflow?
Choose labware made from high-quality, low-binding materials to help reduce sample loss, contamination, and unwanted interactions. For sensitive DNA, RNA, protein, or metabolite samples, consider products certified as free from contaminants such as DNase, RNase, DNA, endotoxins, and PCR inhibitors.
What products can help minimize cross-contamination?
Use sterile or filtered pipette tips, secure-sealing tubes and plates, and labware designed for consistent liquid handling. Products that support accurate pipetting and reliable sealing can help reduce aerosol contamination, evaporation, and sample-to-sample carryover.
Can these products support both manual and automated workflows?
Select products with standardized dimensions and verified compatibility with manual pipettes, electronic pipettes, liquid handlers, plate readers, centrifuges, and other laboratory instruments. Automation-ready consumables can help improve consistency, throughput, and workflow scalability.
How do I select products for different sample volumes and throughput needs?
Consider the number of samples, required working volumes, assay sensitivity, and processing frequency. Low-volume plates and tips may help conserve valuable reagents, while multichannel pipettes, reagent reservoirs, and automation-compatible labware can improve efficiency for higher-throughput workflows.
