Automated liquid handling robots (a class of devices that can include automated pipetting systems as well as microplate washers) dispense and sample liquids in tubes or wells and are often integrated as automated injection modules as the front end of liquid chromatographic systems. These critical labor saving devices offer precision sample preparation for high throughput screening/sequencing (HTC), liquid or powder weighing, sample preparation, and bio-assays of many kinds. The automated pipetting systems handle volumes ranging from .5 ul to 5 L. These units may have built in components in order to feed samples into heating and cooling systems for thermal cycling or shaking systems depending on the target application, or are physically constructed for easy integration with peripheral labware. Liquid handlers with robotic arms allow the user to program the devices to manipulate external labware to extend the systems uses. Other desirable features include programs to control start/stop functions and to choreograph sequential steps necessary for chemical and biochemical assays and for injection options.

The RoboLector system RoboLector Platform Overview
The RoboLector XL system is an automated fermentation platform which combines the high-throughput fermentation and online monitoring capability of the BioLector XT microbioreactor with the precise and accurate liquid handling of a robotic system.
The RoboLector system autonomously prepares media compositions, among others, from the design of experiments (DoE) tests, followed by an online-monitored high-throughput cultivation.
Furthermore, pH adjustments can be made and inducers as well as feed solutions can be added to each cultivation well according to a pre-defined schedule or triggered by online process signals. Automated sampling into various targets including a cooling station facilitates optimal process monitoring and control.
