Accuracy in laboratory experiments is critical but often elusive\u2014especially in life sciences laboratories. Here are 3 areas where automation can help. Accuracy in laboratory experiments is critical but often elusive\u2014especially in life sciences laboratories. This is primarily because many protocols and procedures are done manually, leaving systematic opportunities for pipetting errors, wasted materials, and lost time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Automation can eliminate these difficulties and greatly reduce inaccuracies, resulting in more consistent results. Here are 3 areas where automation is particularly beneficial for life sciences laboratories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1) Replicability Replicability\u2014the ability of researchers to test the feasibility of experimental results using the same methods on the same samples and check whether data sets are consistent\u2014is key to conducting successful research. This is also the best way to ensure consistency between experiments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, if you perform these procedures manually, errors may occur simply depending on who performs the experiment. This is the myth of the \u201cmagic hand\u201d in biology\u2014researchers can make a measurement almost exactly the same way every time. There is often no documentation describing this \"magical\" technique, so there is almost no way to replicate it accurately. Additionally, anyone else trying to recreate a specific assay may still encounter errors due to using different techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
