Module description: Systems biology rely on large amounts of data. Obtaining more measurement data means making measurement procedures simpler and automatising as much as possible. Laboratory robotics is along this line of automatising laboratory manipulations. Typically high throughput screens on cells cultivated in microtiter plates can be performed by laboratory robots. The robotics is used for liquid handling, for sample preparation and transport from one instrument to another, such as from an incubator to an automatic imaging station and for data acquisition
