Many things are created as a result of laboratory work. The advancements for humankind found through scientists slaving away in a lab are innumerable, and will continue to run far on into coming decades and centuries. While science has been advancing itself for the military, private enterprise, and the public, it has also been advancing for the sake of science itself. What I mean by that is through the advancement of science and pursuit of knowledge many elements of science themselves have become easier. Many techniques and machines used in science today are the product of science itself. Science moves in an ouroboros loop, continually moving forward in new technologies that make the advancement of older sciences progress onwards continually. One of these technologies is automated liquid handling.
When designing drugs or chemical compounds the measurements of the components must be exactly to specification, and this can be highly difficult if being performed manually or if bulk orders must be made for extensive testing in a number of different scenarios. Automated liquid handling has made this a far easier process for a number of reasons. Automated liquid handling allows scientists to precisely mix varying measures of multiple compounds, allowing a higher accuracy when it comes to recording the results of the testing. Furthermore the automated nature of the machine ensures that the batch can be completed quickly through either multiple nozzles corresponding to the amount of containers that need to be filled or a moving plate beneath the containers that shifts them towards a set of nozzles row by row by row.
Automated liquid handling systems are also programmable, meaning you can produce varied compounds without having to reset the machine every time you create one batch. Let’s say the batch is split into three sections and all three have different intensity of a certain solution added. You could program the automated liquid handling system to fill the containers twenty five percent full of the compound in one section, fifty percent in the next, and seventy five in the last section. Automated liquid handling systems have made handling liquids in scientific research far more convenient.
