## Description

CPI are in need of a simple to use, automated liquid handling system, using electronic pipettes \(pipetting range 0\.2 uL to 10 mL\) to allow automation of multiple analytical workflows to include heating, shaking, tube/plate transport and solid-phase extraction using vacuum\. Due to limited space in our lab, the robot must have flexibility to be used both in a fumehood or on the bench\. We are looking to develop full walk-away automation solutions\. It would be useful to have connected software that allows creation of automated workflows without any knowledge of programming, laboratory robotics or automation engineering\. It would be useful for the software to allow remote monitoring of ongoing experiments\.
