For the second time, our team in Americana (Brazil) has successfully completed the Social Responsibility Audit (SRA) – renewing an existing local certification and reinforcing what Health, Safety & Sustainability mean to us at Greiner Bio One worldwide.

The SRA is a recognized Brazilian certification that evaluates key social, labor, environmental and management practices across the organization and local supply chain.

It covers topics such as:
✔️ Prevention of child and forced labor
✔️ Respectful, discrimination free workplaces
✔️ Fair employment contracts, working hours and compensation
✔️ Freedom of association and employment contracts
✔️ Occupational health & safety
✔️ Environmental compliance and environmental management
✔️ Monitoring of production chains
✔️ Robust documentation, management and monitoring systems

What makes this especially meaningful:
This audit is not about a one time achievement. It’s about consistent standards, strong processes and everyday responsibility – even under operational pressure.

👉 What this shows across GBO: Health & Safety is not a local initiative. It’s a global mindset, translated into practical action at every site.

👏 Congratulations to everyone involved in Americana for setting a strong example of how responsible business is lived – every day.

Not all microplates are created equal, especially when it comes to imaging.

One of the most overlooked factors?
👉 The plate bottom material.
Yet it’s the foundation of your image quality.

Why it matters:
The material directly affects light transmission, autofluorescence, and flatness — all critical for generating clear, high-resolution images.

In the slides, we prepared a quick breakdown for you.

So what’s the takeaway?
💡 Choosing the right material isn’t just a technical detail — it directly impacts how much you can trust your data. And in high-throughput workflows, that can make all the difference between reliable insights and repeated troubleshooting.

👉 Start with the right foundation — and get more out of every image.

Proper handling of serum tubes can make or break your results. In busy clinical routines, it’s easy to overlook small steps. But in preanalytics, these details matter.

Here are 3 essentials for serum tubes:
✅ Mixing matters: Gentle inversions ensure the clot activator works properly
✅ Timing is critical: Allow at least 30 minutes for clotting (unless using thrombin-based tubes)
✅ Centrifuge correctly: Within 2 hours to maintain sample quality

Why is this so important?

Because improper handling can lead to:
❌ Incomplete clotting
❌ Hemolysis
❌ Sample rejection and redraws

And that can mean more stress, increased time pressure and potential risks for patients.

Better imaging doesn’t start with more effort. It starts with the right setup. If you want consistent, high-quality imaging results, there are a few key factors you simply can’t ignore:

👉 Bottom material – defines optical clarity and signal quality
👉 Bottom thickness – critical for sharp focus, especially at higher magnifications
👉 Plate geometry – determines whether your objective can access every well
👉 Planarity – ensures stable autofocus across the entire plate
👉 Surface treatment – impacts how your cells attach, grow, and behave

Each of these parameters directly influences your imaging performance — and ultimately, the reliability of your data.

But how do they all come together in practice?

In our latest video, our expert Philipp Wachter walks you through the most important factors and explains what really matters when selecting a microplate for imaging.

🎥 Watch now to see how small changes in your setup can make a big difference.

💡 Set the right parameters - and get the image quality your data deserves.

Today, on World Blood Cancer Day, we want to share a story that stays with you and shows how a small decision can change an entire life.

Christian Ziegler, a colleague working in production at Greiner Bio One in Frickenhausen (Germany), once decided to get typed as a potential stem cell donor. A simple cheek swab. A few minutes of his time.

Later, that decision meant something much bigger: his stem cells were donated to a young child in Poland, giving her a real chance at life♥️.

Christian says he still gets goosebumps thinking about it. And that’s exactly why these moments matter. Because behind every typing, there is hope. Behind every donor, a human connection. And behind every story like this, a reminder that ordinary people can do extraordinary things – together.

What you can do, too:
♥️ Consider getting typed as a potential stem cell donor
♥️ Support organizations that fund typings
♥️ Share stories like this to raise awareness

Small actions. Real impact.

That’s why Greiner Bio-One maintains a long-standing partnership with Geben für Leben – Leukemia Aid Austria, organizing internal typing campaigns and encouraging colleagues worldwide to participate locally.

🤝Let’s keep giving hope – together.

What really happens inside a serum tube? Every day, blood collection tubes are part of routine workflows.
But what actually happens inside the tube often remains invisible.

In our latest Inside the Tube – Serum Edition, we take a closer look:
🧪 Serum tubes contain micronized silica particles
🔄 Gentle inversion activates the clotting process
⏱️ Clot formation typically takes around 30 minutes (unless using thrombin-based tubes)

Why does this matter?
Because even small details in preanalytics can directly impact sample integrity - and ultimately, patient results.
Understanding the science behind your tubes helps you work with more confidence, even under pressure.

👉 Discover what’s inside the tube - and why it matters for your daily routine.

Manually labeled tubes pose many potential risks: incorrectly labeled tubes, labels in unfavorable positions, missing patient data, or missing collection information can lead to samples being rejected by the laboratory. This delays diagnoses, increases effort and puts more burden on already stretched resources.

Pre-barcoded tubes minimize these risks:
✔️ Automatic patient assignment enabled: Each sample is correctly recorded when scanned.
✔️ Intelligent software support: Warnings for incorrect tube types or expired tubes reduce sources of error.
✔️ Optimal label positioning: No manual labeling, no obstruction of the sample window, maximum compatibility with laboratory instruments.
✔️ Wide range: Pre-barcoded tubes for venous blood collection, urine and MiniCollect® Complete Tubes for capillary blood - suitable for automation and standard instruments.

💡Your benefits: Fewer errors, less rework, predictable processes, greater patient safety and optimized use of resources in the laboratory.

Where clinical decisions and lab results meet – communication matters!
In complex healthcare settings, small gaps in clinician–laboratory communication can have a big impact on patient outcomes. Different priorities, different languages, different expectations – and suddenly clarity is lost along the diagnostic pathway.

That’s exactly where this multidisciplinary, practice oriented webinar comes in.

Together with experienced clinicians and laboratory experts, we’ll explore how stronger communication can become a real lever for patient safety, quality and efficiency – not in theory, but in day to day practice.

What you’ll get:
➡️ Real world insights into where clinician–lab communication often breaks down
➡️ A clearer understanding of differing priorities and expectations across disciplines
➡️ Perspectives on how better communication reduces errors, improves turnaround time and supports confident clinical decisions
➡️ Change management approaches that actually work in healthcare environments

Expect open dialogue, shared experiences and the chance to swap perspectives with international experts, opinion leaders, and peers during panel discussions and round tables.

✅ Free to attend
✅ No registration required
✅ Join live and bring your questions

So: Save the date!

📍 May 21, 2026
🕓 16:00 CEST

Let’s compare notes, learn from each other’s experience, and explore together how communication can make a measurable difference in patient care.
