Laboratory automation has evolved well beyond the era of monolithic platforms. Instead of relying solely on giant machines that perform the same task over and over, there is also a need for smaller, more agile systems that support a flexible approach to automation.
Demand is being driven by scientific workflows that are more complex and less volume-dependent than labs once used. High-throughput screening, which has long been enabled by automation, typically involves a few processes repeated again and again for a large number of samples. But more recent workflows are very different: next-generation sequencing, for example, requires dozens of processes performed on just a few samples.
