A key component of lab automation, liquid handling robotics allow laboratories to automate liquid handling processes such as pipetting, diluting, and sample processing. Through automation and a reduction in human error, many laboratories see not only and increase in throughput but also an increase in their data accuracy and repeatability after integrating automated liquid handling into their processes.
The most common task automated with liquid handling automation is pipetting. Many life science labs require countless samples to be transferred to tubes or microplates, a tedious process which is time consuming and often leads to human error. By integrating into existing labs and workflows, a pipetting robot offers a streamlined approach to reducing this error and improving liquid handling and sample processing.
In addition to basic pipetting, more robust liquid handling robots include robotic arms which can operate or manipulate external equipment or sample components. Many tasks such as sample moving and mixing, microplate moving and stacking, or microplate delidding, can also be automated with robust liquid handling robotics.
No matter the type of liquid handling robotics, a key feature many labs look for is modularity and customizability of the robot. Most liquid handling robotics offers some level of customization to not only ensure the robot integrates smoothly into your workflow, but also easily integrates physically within the lab space. Liquid handling robotics will also often include software which can be tailored to your specific application and can help further fine tune the liquid handling system by controlling functions such as start/stop and choreographing the sequential movements necessary for chemical and biochemical assays.
