Introduction

Automated liquid handling systems can replace traditional manual pipetting tools, automatically completing high-precision liquid handling tasks and effectively reducing human error.

While offering advantages in performance, automated liquid handling systems also support process control and traceability, finding wide application in areas such as drug discovery and clinical testing. However, due to the performance limitations of automated liquid handling systems...

The parameters vary, and there is no clear and effective measurement method to verify the key issues of its performance. Therefore, this document is used to standardize the automatic liquid...

This document outlines the performance requirements and testing methods for body processing systems, providing technical support for the analysis and improvement of product manufacturing quality. It is intended to facilitate readers' understanding and application of these requirements.

Content related to the performance requirements and testing methods of liquid handling systems.

GB/T 47792 "Automatic Liquid Handling Systems" is proposed to consist of three parts.

---Part 1: Terminology and General Requirements. This section aims to define the types, terminology, and general requirements related to automated liquid handling systems.

---Part 2: Measurement Procedures for Capacity Performance. The purpose is to define the testing procedures for the capacity performance of automated liquid handling systems.

---Part 3: Determination, Specification, and Reporting of Capacity Performance. The purpose is to specify capacity performance data for automated liquid handling systems.

Collection and inspection methods, and reporting requirements for capacity performance.
