Procedure rationaleThe University of Exeter's requirement for an automated liquid handling robot, could only be fulfilled by this supplier due to the University's technical requirements. The instrument must be validated for and configured to run the Olink pipeline. Its setup includes 8 independent working pipettes and also a 96 pipette head capable of upto 1000ul volumes. The robot required a large deck sufficient for loading of all Olink explore HT plates, but also a deck that can also be used for other sequencing based protocols.
