Automated Liquid Handling for DNA Processing
Abstract
This project evaluated, selected, and internally validated an automated liquid handling system and sample tracking software capability. This technology is being used for casework applications within DOD DNA labs and has the potential to save 1,800 man-hours annually, while also improving test reliability by reducing the possibility of human error during sample preparation and processing. This effort produced an assessment and recommendation for implementing two systems for automated DNA handling. The outcome of this project is technology that should save 1,800 man-hours annually at each location the technology is implemented, while also improving test reliability by reducing the possibility of human error during sample preparation and processing.
