For Immediate Release
SLAS News (Jan. 24, 2019) — The SLAS Technology Ten annually showcases ten individual articles that stand out as the most innovative scientific achievements published in SLAS Technology in the past 12 months.
The 2019 SLAS Technology Ten highlights articles that address a number of areas that are recognized as important emerging technologies for life sciences laboratories and the clinic. These include technology that automates and improves isolation of subsets of cells with applications ranging from liquid biopsies to cell therapy manufacturing; technologies that improve isolation and propagation of desired cells; and improvements in ways to analyze these cells through both improved hardware and software solutions; and improved automation approaches for a wide range of assays with implications in everything from drug development to forensic science.
SLAS Technology Editor-in-Chief Edward Kai-Hua Chow, Ph.D. (National University of Singapore) thanks the 63 authors of the 2019 SLAS Technology Ten for these ground-breaking contributions and the hundreds of other researchers who also chose to share their impressive achievements in SLAS Technology in 2018. Collectively, they demonstrate the creativity and vigor with which technology continues to evolve and advance life sciences research.
