What is Lab Automation?
Laboratories are encountering an increased demand for molecular testing and need workflow solutions that allow greater automation and higher throughput to keep up with the increasing number of samples to be prepared for downstream applications such as PCR and NGS.
Automated sample preparation provides significant benefits to laboratories, allowing users to focus on more detailed work while reducing the risk of exposure to chemicals and the need for repetitive motions, such as pipetting.
Automated liquid handlers allow laboratories to handle increased sample processing demands while minimizing the need to increase headcount. However, many automated systems are complicated and intimidating for laboratory technicians to use and often sit idle in the laboratory. The Maxprep® Liquid Handler combined with the Maxwell® extraction instruments provides a turnkey solution for automated sample preparation that overcomes these challenges and makes it easy for labs to add automation to their workflow.
