Automation has been defined as the use of control systems to reduce the need for human work in the production of goods and services. In the realm of biomedical research or clinical testing, automation often involves processing liquid-based analytical tests. Automated biological testing can take on many forms, ranging from individual instruments performing a single task to large, room-sized, custom-robotic systems capable of automating very complex tasks. In between these two extremes are simple modular automated systems designed to automate a select series of tasks necessary for a specific... Read More
