Lab Automation, Robotics & Workstations
Repetitive bench work drains skilled time and introduces variation, and lab automation is how modern labs claw both back. This Lab Automation, Robotics & Workstations category gathers the robots, synthesisers, workstations and integrated platforms that run assays, move labware and build molecules with few hands on the bench. You will find liquid handling arms, robotic movers that feed instruments, chemical and peptide synthesisers, and full platforms that chain steps into a walkaway workflow. Sellers set out deck layout, throughput and software on each listing, so you can weigh both new and used systems against your own protocols. Compare the options and contact the seller to confirm software and integration.

Lab Automation and Robotics Product Types
The range runs from a single robotic arm to a complete integrated platform. Use the categories below to narrow the automation task down to the machines you actually need.
Integrated Lab Automation Platforms
Systems that link liquid handlers, readers and movers into one scheduled workflow. They run multistep assays end to end with minimal operator input.
Robotic Handling Systems
Robotic arms and movers that transport plates and labware between instruments. They keep a workcell fed and running without manual transfer.
Automated Synthesizers
Instruments that build peptides, oligonucleotides or small molecules through programmed reaction cycles. They automate the repetitive chemistry of synthesis.
Lab Workstations
Configured benches that combine handling, heating and mixing for a defined workflow. They automate a sequence of steps on one controlled deck.
Brands on Machinery Masters
The manufacturers featured here build the liquid handling robots, plate handlers and integrated workstations that take manual steps off the bench. Their platforms range from single task units to fully scheduled systems. Manufacturers appear below because they hold Lab Automation, Robotics & Workstations listings in stock on Machinery Masters, and the line-up changes as equipment sells.

Why Choose Machinery Masters
Verified Sellers Only
Every seller is verified before a single listing goes live. Machinery Masters also reviews listings for accuracy, so buyers can commit to high value machinery with confidence.
Global Reach
Listings come from sellers across Europe, North America, and beyond. That reach widens the options past any regional dealer network, and it is often the only way to find discontinued models in good condition.
Flexible Financing Options
Qualifying listings carry financing through partner providers. Terms are shown directly on eligible product pages, spreading the cost instead of draining working capital in one hit.
Direct Seller Contact
No broker sits between the buyer and the seller. Ask about service history, arrange inspections, and negotiate directly with the person who actually knows the machine.
Applications and Uses
Lab automation earns its place wherever throughput, consistency or unattended running matter. These settings show where the category tends to fit.
High throughput screening
Running large assay campaigns across many plates with minimal manual steps. Automation keeps timing and volumes consistent across a run.
Automated compound and molecule synthesis
Building peptides, oligonucleotides and small molecules through programmed cycles. The instrument repeats reaction steps precisely across a batch.
Walkaway assay processing
Chaining pipetting, incubation and reading into one scheduled workflow. The platform runs multistep assays without operator attention.
Labware transport between instruments
Moving plates and racks between readers, incubators and handlers in a workcell. Robotic movers keep the instruments fed and the workflow flowing.
Benefits from Machinery Masters
Buying through the marketplace opens up lab automation that would otherwise carry a steep new price.
Every level of automation in one place
Single robotic arms, synthesisers, workstations and full platforms sit side by side within the wider Labs, Biotech & Pharma range. That breadth lets you match the degree of lab automation to your workflow without hunting across sites.
Used platforms at reachable prices
A serviced platform released by an upgraded lab costs a fraction of a new build. The saving can fund consumables, integration work and a service arrangement.
Software and drivers confirmed before you buy
You confirm the control software, licences and instrument drivers directly with the seller. That exchange stops you inheriting an automation system you cannot run.
Frequently Asked Questions About Lab Automation, Robotics & Workstations
Match the level to the bottleneck, since a single robotic arm, a workstation and a full integrated platform solve very different problems. If one repetitive step slows you, a workstation may be enough, while a linked campaign across instruments calls for a platform. Consider throughput, the number of steps and how much walkaway time you want. Describe your workflow to the seller so they can point you to the lab automation listing that fits.
The software is what makes automation usable, so it carries as much weight as the hardware. Check whether the seller supplies the installed version, the scheduler, instrument drivers and any licence or dongle needed. Some packages tie to a specific computer that should stay with the system. Clarify this early, because a used system without working software is difficult to bring back online.
Integration depends on the drivers and interfaces the platform supports for third party instruments. A platform built around one vendor's readers may not drive yours without extra work. List the instruments you want to connect and check the platform supports them. Ask the seller which drivers are installed so you can judge the integration effort.
Requirements range from a benchtop footprint to a floor standing workcell with a control computer and services. Confirm the dimensions, the power and any compressed air or extraction the system needs. Factor in access for loading and maintenance around the cell. The seller can supply the footprint and service needs so you can plan the space.
Financing is offered on qualifying listings, which helps given that automation platforms carry a higher price than most equipment. Mention it to the seller when you enquire and they will confirm whether the system is eligible. Spreading the cost keeps capital free for integration and consumables. What terms apply comes down to the particular system and its seller.
