Leachables: Minimizing the Influence of Plastic Consumables on the Laboratory Workflows

The workflow of laboratory experiments may be influenced by various factors. Routinely, only the assay-specific factors are recognized as relevant and pursued to be controlled. These typically include sample material (quality, integrity, amount), reagent systems (quality, performance) and laboratory equipment (features, performance, quality). On the other hand, more general experimental factors are often unconsidered or not well understood and commonly remain uncontrolled in the laboratory routine. In particular, the role Introduction
