20140046484 | Control Method for Computer-Controlled Liquid Handling Workstations - A control method for a computer-controlled liquid handling workstation which comprises a work surface, a motorized liquid handling robot with at least two pipettes each having a cone, and a control computer, to which the liquid handling robot is connected. A control program, activated in the control computer, enables the pipetting robot to position the pipette at specific positions on the work surface. The pipettes and at least one position are visualized as icons, using a visualization device. Upon selecting at least one pipette and designating a position, using an input mechanism, the selected pipette is moved down and up immediately after its selection, and moved to the designated position immediately after designating the position. These movements are carried out prior to selecting at least one action and its execution, enabling the operator to confirm the selection of the pipette and the designation of the position. | 02-13-2014 |

20110160909 | DIRECT PIPETTING IN COMPUTER-CONTROLLED LIQUID HANDLING WORKSTATIONS - Relates to an interface and its use for the remote control of a computer-controlled liquid handling workstation with a work surface, a motorized pipetting robot with at least one pipette, and a control computer, to which the pipetting robot is connected. A control program activated in this control computer enables the pipetting robot to position the at least one pipette at specific positions on the work surface and to execute a specific action there using the at least one pipette. The interface comprises input means, visualization means, interface software, and an electronic memory. The visualization means is implemented to visualize the positions at which containers are situated on the work surface of the liquid handling workstation and a selection of the specific actions executable using the pipettes. According to the present invention, the interface and the interface software are implemented to visualize as icons at least one pipette, optionally selected by the input means or by the interface, and at least one designated pipetting position on a specific container, and in addition, to direct the pipetting robot of the computer-controlled liquid handling workstation to position the selected pipettes at the designated pipetting positions of the specific container immediately after designating the specific position and prior to executing the selected specific action. Alternatively, the interface and the interface software are implemented or used to visualize, in a 2D or 3D simulation, the pipetting robot of the computer-controlled liquid handling workstation and to virtually position the selected pipettes at the designated pipetting positions of the specific container immediately after designating the specific position and prior to executing the selected specific action. | 06-30-2011 |
