𝐀: Selecting the right automated system for your laboratory can feel overwhelming. With so many options available, it's crucial to evaluate your specific needs to find the right match for your applications. But what should you prioritize during your search? Here are a couple of key recommendations to keep in mind:
𝐕𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐦𝐞 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞: What pipetting volumes does your application need? Ensure that your robot is compatible with your requirements and delivers accurate and precise results.
𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬: What throughput capabilities does your workflow require? Vendors like Hamilton offer different channels and multi-probe head options depending on your requirements.
𝐅𝐥𝐞𝐱𝐢𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 & 𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Today's goals may not meet tomorrow's needs. If you anticipate expanding your automated processes in the future, prioritize a modular system that can be easily scaled or reconfigured.
𝐕𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐮𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: Automation is an investment and finding the right partner to work with is paramount. Choose a vendor that makes quality systems and offers reliable support, installation, troubleshooting, and maintenance.
By considering your specific needs, you can have confidence in selecting an automated system that fits your lab now and into the future.
