Post-Lab Questions Part I – Published Paper Utilizing Automation A notable example is Rauch et al., 2020 – Open-Source Robotic Platform for SARS-CoV-2 Testing Using the Opentrons OT-2. In this study, researchers used the Opentrons OT-2 to automate RT-qPCR testing for COVID-19. Automation enabled RNA extraction, sample transfer, and reaction setup in 96-well plates with high reproducibility and minimal human intervention. This approach demonstrated that low-cost robotic systems can perform clinically relevant diagnostics, increase throughput, and reduce variability, making automation accessible to laboratories with limited resources.Hugoen
