Automated Volume Verification for Quality Control
Accurate measurement and transfer of small volumes of liquids are crucial aspects of life science research. The working principle is simple: a set volume of liquid is determined to be pipetted, then aspirated, and dispensed. Unfortunately, whether it be manual or automated pipetting, errors are common involving techniques for the former, and parameters such as the liquid class, chemical nature, instrument compliance, and environmental conditions for the latter.
