labbarm
Labbarm is a term used to describe a laboratory robotic arm, a programmable, multi-axis manipulator designed to perform tasks in scientific laboratories. The term is a portmanteau of lab and arm and appears in technical literature and vendor materials; spelling variants include "lab arm" or "lab-arm." It is most commonly associated with automation in biology, chemistry, and pharmaceutical research.
In design, a lab arm typically features multiple rotary axes, precision actuators, and an interchangeable end
Applications include automated liquid handling, plate handling in high-throughput screening, sample aliquoting, repetitive task execution, and
Care and maintenance involve regular calibration, software updates, replacement of grippers or pipette heads, and cleaning
Labbarm technology is widespread in academic and industry laboratories aiming to standardize repetitive tasks, improve safety,
