Description
Structured Overview on the Available Systems and Devices for Laboratory Automation
Choosing the right systems and devices for the automation in any given laboratory is an essential part for the process to succeed. As relevant information to make an informed choice is not always readily available, a structured overview is essential for modern scientists. This book provides an introduction into laboratory automation and an overview of the necessary devices and systems. Sample topics discussed by the two well-qualified authors include:
- Specific requirements the automation needs to fulfill such as liquid delivery, low volume delivery, solid delivery, and sample preparation
- An overview on robots and mobile robots
- Common interfaces in laboratory automation
For scientists and all individuals working in laboratories, the work serves as an indispensable resource in helping to make laboratory processes more streamlined, effective, and efficient.
