Automated Production of Fatty Acid Methyl Esters (FAMEs) from Soy Seeds

Hamilton Robotics has designed a system to automate oil extraction and FAME production from soy seed samples on the STARlet Automated Liquid Handling Workstation. The system setup allows the user to choose the number of sample plates (up to five) and the number of samples per plate (up to 96). Additional flexibility allows userdefined volumes, mix cycles, shake times and temperature.
