Central-Automated, Sample-Oriented Multicomponent Systems

4 Central-automated, Sample-oriented Multicomponent Systems 

The classical function-oriented automation concept forfeits efficiency the instant a diversity of process and products are targeted. On the other hand, by centralizing automation, i.e., by devolving automation tasks away from the periphery to a powerful central robot, highly variable processes can be tackled, e.g., in combinatorial synthesis. One feature of these so-called sample-oriented systems is that the pipetting function is centralized.
