A microplate robot is an instrument that is indispensable in many laboratories. Microplate robots significantly increase sample throughput and decrease the time to produce results. In this article, we will explain the benefits of a microplate robot and what its use can bring to your laboratory.
What is a microplate robot?
A microplate robot is also known as a microplate handler and can transfer microtiter plates in three-dimensional space from one location to another. Microplate robots are common in labs that process many microplates per week. For example, high throughput screening labs in pharmaceutical or crop science industries use these robots to increase their workflows.Early microplate robots were very clumsy devices as industrial robots served as a basis. Today's robots are more refined, user friendly and better suited to do their job.
Benefits of a microplate robot
The use of a microplate robot improves your workflows. By automating the manual work, it is no longer time-consuming, giving researchers more time and space to analyze results faster and better. As well as human errors being reduced. Another benefit is the increase of the throughput. The processing of plates by means of a microplate robot is many times faster, so that research can be carried out more efficiently. Resulting in more research and gaining data in less time.
