Liquid workstation standard

The standard configuration of liquid workstations will show diverse characteristics depending on the manufacturer, brand and specific model, but in general, they all focus on the core goal of improving experimental efficiency and accuracy, and jointly build several key features components and functional modules. These elements not only reflect the technological advancement of the liquid workstation, but also ensure its stable and efficient operation in complex and changeable experimental environments.

1. Core components of the liquid workstation 1. Pipetting system: (1) Multi-channel pipette: The standard configuration may include 8-channel, 96-channel or more-channel pipettes to achieve high-precision liquid transfer. These pipettes are usually equipped with robotic arms or high-precision motor drives to ensure pipetting accuracy and stability. (2) Pipetting heads: Provide various types of pipetting heads, such as disposable tips, steel needle tips, etc., to adapt to different experimental needs. Pipetting heads can be changed automatically or manually to match different liquid handling tasks. 2. Control system: (1) Software platform: Equipped with a dedicated software platform for programming and controlling the operation of the liquid workstation. The software has a friendly interface and supports modular programming. Users can complete complex liquid processing processes through simple drag and drop operations. (2) Hardware interface: Provides interfaces with computers or other external devices, such as USB, Ethernet, etc., to achieve data transmission and remote control. 3. Working platform: (1) Multi-station design: The working platform usually has multiple stations for placing different experimental equipment, such as orifice plates, centrifuge tubes, etc. The number, layout and size of workstations can be customized according to experimental needs. (2) Adapter rack: A variety of adapter racks are provided to adapt to containers of different shapes and sizes to ensure stability and accuracy during liquid handling.

2. Functional modules of the liquid workstation 1. Liquid level sensing and liquid level following: Standard non-contact or contact liquid level sensing function is used to monitor the liquid position in real time to avoid incorrect operations caused by too low or too high liquid level. Equipped with a liquid level following function to ensure that the pipetting head always maintains a certain distance from the liquid level during movement to improve pipetting accuracy and stability. 2. Shaking and incubation: A shaking module is provided to achieve sample mixing and reaction. The oscillation speed and mode can be adjusted according to experimental needs. Equipped with an incubation module to control the temperature of the sample, supporting multiple modes such as constant temperature incubation and variable temperature incubation. 3. Liquid dispensing and replenishing: Equipped with liquid dispensing and replenishing functions to achieve precise distribution and replenishment of liquids. This function is usually implemented through precision equipment such as peristaltic pumps to ensure the accuracy and stability of liquid dispensing and replenishment. 4. Automatic cleaning and disinfection: Provide automatic cleaning processes, including forward/reverse cleaning of the entire pipeline, cleaning of the inner/outer wall of the pump liquid steel needle, etc. to ensure the sterility of the equipment and avoid cross-contamination. Equipped with a disinfection function for regular disinfection of equipment to kill potential microorganisms and viruses. 5. Safety: Equipped with a variety of safety protection mechanisms, such as emergency stop buttons, safety gratings, etc., to ensure the safety of operators. We provide laminar flow systems, UV sterilization lamps and other environmental control equipment to ensure environmental safety and sample purity during the experiment.

The standard configuration of the liquid workstation is the cornerstone of its experimental automation and efficient operation. It provides modern laboratories with high-precision pipetting systems, intelligent control systems, flexible work platforms and diverse functional modules. Unprecedented convenience and efficiency. These standard configurations not only meet the stringent requirements of scientific researchers for experimental accuracy and stability, but also promote the continuous development of laboratory automation.
