Partnership with the Stem Cell Engineering Lab
Project Summary
Drug testing requires an incredibly high number of repeated tests, with more than nine million trials being typical in the average screening process. Our project aims to automate a portion of this process by minimizing the amount of time the lab technician spends handling plates of hazardous compounds. Our solution to this is a Cartesian robotic arm that transports plates to and from stackers that are filled by a user. During this process, plates are taken to precise locations on another system which then runs the tests on the compounds before returning the plates to their initial positions.
