Fully automatic pipetting workstation

1. Core applications of robotic technology 1. Automated operation: The fully automatic pipetting workstation realizes the automation of liquid distribution, mixing, heating, cooling and other operations through robotic technology and automation algorithms. Users only need to set experimental parameters, such as pipetting volume, liquid aspiration speed, liquid discharge speed, etc., and the workstation can automatically perform liquid pipetting tasks. 2. Multi-function integration: Modern automatic pipetting platforms usually integrate multiple functions to meet different experimental needs. For example, some fully automatic pipetting workstations not only have pipetting functions, but also integrate advanced functions such as nucleic acid purification, magnetic bead separation, and temperature-controlled incubation. 3. Precise control: Robotic technology enables the fully automatic pipetting workstation to achieve precise control of trace amounts of liquid. For example, some workstations have a pipetting range of 1 to 1000 μL with high pipetting accuracy.

2. Specific manifestations of robotic technology 1. Robotic arms and precision tips: Fully automatic pipetting workstations are usually equipped with robotic arms for precise movement and positioning of tips. The suction head uses a precision air pump and solenoid valve assembly to achieve liquid transfer with different precision and capacity. 2. Advanced control system: The control system is the brain of the fully automatic pipetting workstation. It relies on advanced computer, PLC or touch screen technology to achieve automated control and real-time monitoring. Users can set experimental parameters through the touch screen or computer interface and monitor the experimental progress in real time. 3. Data processing and remote monitoring: The fully automatic pipetting workstation is also equipped with a data processing system, which is responsible for recording and analyzing experimental data. Through IoT technology, workstations can also achieve remote monitoring and data sharing, providing more convenient and efficient solutions for scientific research.

3. Advantages of robotic technology in fully automatic pipetting workstations 1. Improve experimental efficiency: Robotic technology enables fully automatic pipetting workstations to continuously and quickly complete the absorption, transfer and precise distribution of large amounts of liquid samples. This not only greatly improves the efficiency of experimental operations, but also enables experimenters to get rid of complex experimental operations. 2. Reduce human errors: The introduction of robot technology effectively reduces human errors and ensures the accuracy of experimental results. This is particularly important for experiments requiring high precision and repeatability. 3. Enhance experimental safety: Fully automatic pipetting workstations are usually equipped with safety doors and protective measures to prevent contamination caused by liquid splashing or foreign matter flying in during the experiment. The introduction of robotic technology further enhances the safety of experiments and protects the safety of operators.

The robotic technology in the fully automatic pipetting workstation is reflected in many aspects such as automated operation, multi-functional integration, and precise control. The application of these technologies not only improves experimental efficiency and accuracy, but also enhances experimental safety. With the continuous advancement of biotechnology and information technology, fully automatic pipetting workstations are expected to achieve more intelligent and automated development.
