• What kind of maintenance does a robotic liquid handler typically require?

  Routine maintenance commonly involves cleaning, calibration of pipetting channels, and periodic checks of robotic arm movements. Specific schedules will depend on usage and manufacturer guidelines.

• Can this type of system be integrated with other laboratory equipment?

• What level of training is typically needed to operate a Freedom Evo-2?

• Is it possible to upgrade or reconfigure the system later?

• What are the common benefits of automating liquid handling in a lab?

Liquid handling stations are valued in laboratory and pharmaceutical settings for their precision and repeatability in fluid transfer tasks. When purchasing used equipment, buyers typically prioritise verifying calibration history, checking for corrosion or wear on critical components, and confirming software compatibility. The sector generally regards these systems as reliable workhorses when properly maintained. Common strengths include accuracy in dispensing, reduced operator fatigue, and consistent results across batches. Buyers should examine pump condition and control system functionality carefully.
