Best Practice: Automated Liquid Handlers in Action

We presented you why and when it makes sense to automate your liquid handling – but how does this automation actually look like? Join us on an introduction to the work principles of automation and learn how pipetting robots can take over critical pipetting steps or complete workflows.

We will show you examples of the automation of several key methods including extraction protocols and NGS and demo both the automation hardware and software.

You'll learn:

• How automated pipetting and sample processing works
• Automation examples of applications like NGS
• How automation software looks like and how it is used
