Working principle of 96-channel fully automatic liquid workstation

The core operating principle of the 96-channel fully automatic liquid workstation is rooted in highly automated liquid processing technology. It integrates high-precision mechanical transmission mechanisms and advanced intelligent control algorithms to achieve precise absorption, distribution, uniform mixing and fine precision of liquid samples. A series of complex operations such as dilution have greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of laboratory work.

1. Core components

1> Pipetting module: This is the core part of the liquid workstation and contains multiple (usually 96) independent pipetting channels. Each channel is equipped with replaceable pipetting tips for precise aspiration and dispensing of liquids.

2>Control system: Through smart devices such as controllers or external tablet computers, operators can set liquid treatment programs and parameters. The control system is responsible for monitoring and executing these procedures to ensure accuracy and efficiency of liquid handling.

3>Liquid storage device: used to store liquid samples and reagents to be processed. These devices are often used in conjunction with pipetting modules to facilitate rapid transfer of liquids.

4>Waste liquid collection device: used to collect treated waste liquid to ensure the cleanliness and safety of the laboratory.

5>Data processing system: used to record experimental data and results, analyze and process them. The system can be connected to a computer or PLC control system to achieve remote monitoring and control.

2. Work flow

1>Program setting: The operator sets the program and parameters of liquid processing through the controller or smart device, including pipetting volume, pipetting speed, pipetting mode, etc.

2> Automatic attachment and removal of pipette tips: The pipetting module automatically assembles or removes pipette heads according to program requirements, ensuring that pipetting operations in each channel can proceed smoothly.

3>Liquid aspiration: The pipetting head accurately draws a specified amount of liquid sample or reagent from the liquid storage device.

4>Liquid distribution: According to the program settings, the pipetting head distributes the absorbed liquid to the target location, such as microplates, PCR plates and other experimental consumables.

5> Mixing and dilution (if applicable): For liquid samples that need to be mixed or diluted, the liquid workstation can also perform corresponding operations to ensure the accuracy and consistency of liquid processing.

6>Waste liquid treatment: The treated waste liquid is collected into the waste liquid collection device and awaits subsequent processing.

7> Data recording and analysis: The data processing system records experimental data and results, analyzes and processes them, and provides experimental reports and data analysis support for operators.

3. Technical characteristics

1>High precision: The pipetting module adopts a high-precision mechanical system and intelligent control system to ensure the precision and accuracy of liquid handling.

2>High efficiency: 96 independent pipetting channels can perform liquid handling operations at the same time, greatly shortening the experimental time and improving the experimental efficiency.

3>Automation: The entire liquid treatment process is automatically controlled, reducing the labor intensity of operators and reducing human errors.

4>Compatibility: Liquid workstations are usually compatible with a variety of experimental consumables and reagents to meet different experimental needs.

5>Intelligence: Some high-end liquid workstations also have functions such as intelligent identification, fault diagnosis and remote upgrade, which improves the intelligence level and ease of use of the equipment.

The 96-channel fully automatic liquid workstation relies on advanced automated liquid processing technology to accurately execute key steps such as liquid absorption, distribution, mixing and dilution, demonstrating its outstanding features of high precision, high efficiency, full automation and intelligence. These significant advantages not only greatly promote the accuracy and speed of liquid handling processes, but also make the workstation widely used in many fields such as life science exploration, medical diagnosis, chemical analysis, etc., and have become indispensable in these fields. important tool that plays a vital role.
