Automated Liquid Handling for Reproducible Cell Assays: A Technical Note on Error Sources

Abstract

There is real interest in automated liquid handling for reproducible cell assays right now, and real uncertainty about exactly
where it delivers the most value. We pull together the current evidence for automated liquid handling for reproducible cell assays,
covering the methodological, practical, regulatory and cost angles, with an eye on where practice has genuinely settled and where
researchers and reviewers are still largely working it out for themselves. Selective, context-specific adoption looks better
supported by the evidence gathered here than either broad rollout or blanket avoidance
