About
Angela Lehnert is a leading expert in the engineering of liquid-handling systems, with a primary focus on the critical challenge of sample carryover contamination. Her research addresses a fundamental bottleneck in automated clinical diagnostics and high-throughput laboratory workflows: ensuring the integrity of results when using fixed, reusable pipetting tips. Lehnert’s major contributions lie in the development of standardized, quantifiable test procedures to measure and mitigate carryover. Her seminal 2010 work established robust protocols for assessing contamination risks, while a companion study demonstrated an integrated decontamination washing step that dramatically reduces analyte transfer between samples. Although her highly specialized papers have accumulated modest citation counts (11 and 6, respectively), their impact is profound within the niche of laboratory automation and in vitro diagnostics, where they serve as foundational references for quality control. By providing the first systematic framework for validating fixed-tip systems, Lehnert has enabled safer, more reliable automation in clinical labs, directly supporting the accuracy of patient test results.
