About

Zeki Altun is a leading figure in the field of high-throughput bioanalysis, with a focused expertise in the development of advanced sample preparation technologies. His major contributions center on pioneering the use of monolithic methacrylate polymers as packing materials for 96-tip robotic devices, dramatically accelerating the cleanup and processing of biological samples. This innovation, detailed in his most-cited work from 2009, has been cited over 40 times, underscoring its significance in streamlining laboratory workflows. Altun’s research directly addresses the critical need for efficiency in bioanalysis, enabling researchers to process 96 samples simultaneously with enhanced reproducibility and speed. His 2006 paper, which introduced the concept of a laboratory robot operating in a 96-well format with monolithic methacrylate plugs, has garnered 32 citations and remains a foundational reference for automated sample preparation. By integrating chemistry with robotics, Altun has not only improved throughput but also set a new standard for robustness in bioanalytical methods, making his work essential for any researcher aiming to optimize high-volume sample analysis.
