Automated Liquid Handling Technology Industry Overview And Future Scope!

Liquid handling technology plays a significant role in various life science industries including bioprocessing industry, pharmaceutical & biotechnology industry, food & nutrition industry, and others. Liquid samples are dispensed or transferred to a wide range of substrates or container on a frequent basis for various clinical investigations and biomedical research activities These activities include drug screening, antibody testing, protein crystallization, and gene sequencing. Rise in demand has led to the development of automated liquid handling technology as a cost-effective solution for improvement with respect to productivity, efficiency, and timeliness of ongoing research activities. 
Automated Liquid Handling Technology

Need for sample transfer is considerably high in research involving combinational activities such as drug target screening. The sample volumes are generally in a range of micro to nanoliters. Handling large number of minute sample quantities on a frequent basis becomes tedious, impractical, and time-consuming with manual solutions. This, in turn, makes automated solutions as a viable solution to overcome the aforementioned challenges with manual liquid handling.
Rising trend of automation in drug development and biotechnology industry has accelerated the adoption in this market. This technology is based on different principles including acoustic, piezoelectric, peristatic, magnetic, and micro-solenoid, for performance optimization of automated systems. Based on the product type, the market is classified as standalone and integrated workstations. Manufacturers are engaged in embracing focused attempts for integrating advances in these segments.
