Human error has always been a latent risk in manual lab processes. Of particular concern is the possibility of contamination or mislabeling that can derail significant research projects.
Automated liquid handlers offer a solution, ensuring that each step in the procedure is precisely controlled and executed. They operate under strict protocols set by lab staff, yet free from individual variability.
Moreover, these devices provide traceability for every action. This feature facilitates a new level of trust and verification, crucial during audits or peer reviews where transparency is critical.
Believe it or not, the return on investment in automated systems due to error reduction alone justifies the initial expense for many laboratories. But there’s an even bigger payoff when it comes to efficiency.
