Cleaning and disinfection: Equipped with a complete automatic cleaning process to ensure the cleanliness and sterility of the inside and outside of the equipment. 5. Data recording and analysis: Able to record and process experimental data, and provide data analysis and reporting functions.

3. Working principle of the intelligent liquid workstation 1. Control system and programming Programming settings: The user first performs programming settings through the operation interface (such as touch screen or computer software) of the intelligent liquid workstation, including the amount of liquid absorbed, the amount of distribution, Assign parameters such as position, mixing method, speed, and more. Instruction transmission: After programming is completed, the control system conveys instructions to various execution units, including robotic arms, pipettes, temperature control modules, oscillation modules, etc. 2. Robotic arm and pipette Robotic arm movement: Under the command of the control system, the robotic arm moves to the designated position according to the preset path and speed. The movement precision and stability of the robotic arm are critical to the accuracy of liquid handling. Pipette work: The pipette (usually including a pipette tip and a syringe) is driven by a robotic arm to reach the designated liquid container. By precisely controlling the piston movement of the syringe, the liquid is drawn in and discharged. 3. Liquid handling and mixed liquid aspiration: The pipette absorbs liquid from the source container into the tip according to the preset aspiration volume. Liquid dispensing: The pipette moves over the target container to precisely dispense the liquid to the designated location. During the dispensing process, the control system monitors the pipetting volume in real time to ensure the accuracy of dispensing. Mixing and shaking: For liquids that need to be mixed, the workstation will start the oscillation module to fully mix the liquid through shaking or stirring. 4. Automatic cleaning and disinfection: After completing liquid processing, the workstation will automatically start the cleaning process to clean key components such as pipettes and robotic arms to ensure the cleanliness and sterility of the equipment. Disinfection: Based on experimental or production needs, the workstation can also sterilize equipment and containers to kill potential microbial contamination. 5. Data recording and analysis Data recording: The workstation will record various data in real time during the working process, including pipetting volume, distribution position, mixing time, etc. Data analysis: Users can analyze and process data through the workstation's operating interface or supporting software tools to better understand the experimental or production process. 6. Safety and stability Safety protection: Intelligent liquid workstations are usually equipped with a variety of safety protection measures, such as emergency stop buttons, overload protection, etc., to ensure the safety of operators and equipment. Environmental Control: The workstation also features temperature and humidity controls to ensure liquid handling processes are carried out under appropriate environmental conditions.

The intelligent liquid workstation, with its highly integrated control system, sophisticated robotic arm motion system, cutting-edge liquid handling technology, and comprehensive safety protection mechanism, has successfully pushed the liquid handling process towards automation, precision and intelligence. a whole new realm. This innovative platform not only simplifies complex operating steps, but also achieves a qualitative leap in efficiency and accuracy, ensuring that every step of liquid processing can reach unprecedented high standards.
