Automated liquid handling: The key to accurate and reproducible results

10 Feb, 2025

Liquid handling is one of the most important, yet tedious tasks in an analytical laboratory. Results need to accurate and reproducible, but this can only happen when correct volumes of sample or solvent are used. Unfortunately, with each manually prepared sample or solution, the risk for falsified results increases.

Liquid handling is used to transport a solution or reagent accurately, and precisely from one place to another. Automated liquid handling utilises piston-driven burettes to perform this job unlike manual methods that require graduated cylinders, glass burettes, or pipets etc to manipulate liquids.

If you’re still working manually with pipets, glass burettes, and other kinds of measuring cylinders in your lab, consider automation for your liquid handling processes. Electronic burettes can do more than just a simple liquid transfer. Accuracy, precision, and cost-efficiency are only some of the benefits of switching to using automated liquid handling in the laboratory.
