The Counsyl Clinic Team designed, built, and tested an end-of-robotic-arm tool that allows for individual linear actuation of 12 pipette tips for liquid sample transfer. The goal of the project was to reduce the footprint of the tool and increase the throughput of liquid-handling operations. The team tested both a motor-based and pneumatic-based design, then delivered a complete 12-actuator motor system for easy integration into Counsyl’s pipeline, as well as plans for the pneumatic design alternative.
