Why Task-Based Automation Is Changing Laboratory Workflows
Automation doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire workflow. This article explores how task-based automation helps laboratories automate specific steps, like plate setup, normalization, or sample preparation, to improve consistency, reduce errors, and scale workflows such as qPCR, NGS, and ELISA more efficiently.

ELISA protocols rely on precise, repetitive pipetting steps that can quickly become time-consuming. This article explores how PIPETMAN® M96 enables simultaneous 96-well dispensing to streamline plate preparation, reduce variability, and cut pipetting time by up to 70%.
This application note demonstrates how automated immunoaffinity cleanup enables reliable, reproducible quantification of ochratoxin A in cocoa by standardizing sample preparation and reducing variability. The validated workflow delivers high accuracy (80–110% recovery, ≤5% RSD) while improving efficiency and minimizing human error in food safety testing.
Processing thousands of wildlife samples for next-generation sequencing can overwhelm manual workflows. This case study shows how the Peery Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Lab automated key NGS steps with PIPETMAX® 268, reducing errors, doubling throughput, and enabling their team to scale conservation genomics research more efficiently.
This application note demonstrates the use of EXTRACTMAX™ for fully automated magnetic bead–based purification of proteins, with a focus on preserving weak and transient protein–protein interactions. Using Gilson’s exclusion-based sample preparation (ESP™) technology, EXTRACTMAX gently transfers magnetic beads through multiple wash steps without centrifugation or harsh aspiration. The study highlights reproducible protein recovery, minimal sample loss, and parallel processing of up to four samples, illustrating how EXTRACTMAX supports reliable and automated magnetic purification workflows.
Pipette tips play a critical role in liquid handling accuracy and reproducibility. Learn how tip quality, fit, and material impact experimental results across manual and automated workflows.
Choosing the right pipette tip is essential for accurate and reproducible laboratory results. Learn the four key factors to consider – materials, purity, fit, and traceability – when selecting pipette tips for your experiments.
