Abstract Session Description
Improved efficiency, reproducibility, and accuracy make automated liquid handling platforms (ALH) increasingly popular for laboratory developed tests in mass spectrometry laboratories. ALH systems can automate simple tasks like liquid dispensing or can be deployed for full sample cleanup and preparation. Historically, ALH programming and method development were significant deterrents for laboratories wanting to implement ALHs. However, improvements around user-friendly interfaces with drag and drop programming, varying footprints with varied capabilities, and configurable deck layouts have made the technology more approachable.
This presentation will discuss considerations in choosing an appropriate ALH to fit assay needs, thoughts for developing and validating an ALH method, practical guidance on monitoring system performance, and suggestions on ways to simplify troubleshooting.
Take Home Pearls
1. Learn about selecting an ALH system and how to avoid common mistakes in setting up the system.
2. Understand validation principles to ensure method appropriate performance and robustness.
3. Gain practical knowledge in how to monitor system performance and to simplify troubleshooting.
