How does the cell separation workstation work?

As an important part of laboratory automation solutions, the cell dispensing workstation integrates precision robotic arms, advanced pipetting systems and intelligent program control to provide services for multiple research fields such as cell culture, molecular biology, and biochemical experiments. strong support. From the precise absorption and distribution of liquids to the processing and preparation of complex samples, the cell dispensing workstation, with its excellent performance, helps scientists break through the limitations of traditional experiments and accelerate the pace of scientific discovery.

1. Basic components The cell dispensing workstation mainly consists of the following parts: 1. Bracket: As the foundation of the workstation, it supports components such as pipettes and dispensers and ensures their stability. 2. Pipette: A tool used to accurately draw and distribute liquids, and can be controlled manually or electrically. 3. Liquid dispenser: Responsible for separating or distributing liquids into different containers to achieve sample preparation, dilution or reaction. 4. Control system: including software interface and hardware control module, used to set pipetting and dispensing parameters to achieve automated operations.

2. Working principle 1. Precise control of the robotic arm (1) Accurate positioning: Through the advanced control system, the robotic arm in the cell dispensing workstation can accurately position itself above the designated container, whether it is a petri dish, a centrifuge tube or a PCR Boards, etc., can be operated accurately. (2) Stable operation: The robotic arm maintains a high degree of stability during movement, ensuring that there will be no shaking when absorbing and distributing liquid, thus ensuring the accuracy of the operation. 2. Precision operation of the pipetting system (1) Accurate suction: The pipetting system accurately absorbs a specified amount of liquid by changing the pressure difference inside the pipetting head and using negative pressure suction or positive pressure push. During this process, the design and material selection of the pipetting head are carefully considered to ensure the accuracy of pipetting and the purity of the liquid. (2) Flexible distribution: After absorbing the liquid, the pipetting system will accurately distribute the liquid into the target container according to the preset program. Whether it is a single sample or the simultaneous processing of multiple samples, it can be easily handled. 3. Automated control of preset programs (1) Program setting: Users can set corresponding programs in the control system of the cell dispensing workstation according to experimental needs. These procedures include parameters such as the amount of liquid absorbed, the order of distribution, and the transfer speed to ensure that every step of the operation meets the experimental requirements. (2) Automatic execution: After setting the program, the cell separation workstation will automatically perform various operations. From liquid absorption to distribution and transfer, the entire process does not require manual intervention, greatly improving experimental efficiency and accuracy. 4. Efficient sample processing and preparation (1) Operation between different containers: The cell dispensing workstation can perform operations such as liquid absorption, distribution and transfer between different containers. This flexibility enables it to meet various experimental needs, including cell culture, molecular biology, biochemical experiments and other fields. (2) Efficient sample processing: Through automated operation, the cell separation workstation can quickly process a large number of samples, reduce manual operation time and errors, and improve the repeatability and reliability of experiments.

3. Main features 1. High precision: Using technologies such as high-precision peristaltic pumps or precision robotic arms to ensure the accuracy of pipetting and dispensing. 2. High-throughput: Able to process multiple samples at the same time, significantly improving experimental efficiency. 3. Automation: Reduce manual operations, reduce human errors, and improve the repeatability and reliability of experiments. 4. Flexibility: It can be customized and programmed according to experimental needs to meet different experimental requirements. 5. Easy maintenance: reasonable structural design, easy to clean and maintain.

With the continuous deepening of life science research and the rapid development of technology, the cell dispensing workstation, as an outstanding representative of laboratory automation, is continuing to demonstrate its irreplaceable value and potential. It not only greatly improves the accuracy, efficiency and repeatability of experimental operations, but also provides more reliable data support for scientific research by reducing human errors.
