Several key technologies drive automation in bioanalytical sciences:
- Robotic Liquid Handlers: These robots can precisely manage liquids, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring accurate sample preparation. - Automated Plate Readers: Instruments that can read and analyze multiple samples simultaneously, increasing throughput. - Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS): Software that manages samples, associated data, and laboratory workflows efficiently. - Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography Systems: Often integrated with automated sample preparation and data analysis tools to streamline complex analyses.
