Entry-Level Automation for Molecular Assays

What’s in the eBook

Given that molecular workflows involve complex, lengthy, error-prone, and expensive processes, they are often performed using automated liquid handlers (also known as robotic workstations). The sample preparation steps for these workflows can be automated—at least partially—in small, user-friendly entry-level automated systems. These systems are particularly attractive due to their small footprint, ease of use, and affordable price.

Overall, the selection of the most suitable liquid handling technology for a laboratory depends on several factors: (i) throughput, (ii) complexity of the workflow, (iii) available budget, (iv) laboratory space, and requirements for (v) sterility and measures to control cross-contamination, (vi) traceability, and (vii) precision. Hamilton Robotics offers three entry-level automated systems: Microlab® Prep, NIMBUS Line, and Replicator Line.
