A chemical robot capable of performing enzymatic reactions and extraction processes of DNA has been developed. The basic functions of this robot include handling of plastic tubes with caps, micropipetting, mixing, microcentrifuging and incubating. As a result, almost all of the pre-electrophoresis steps can be carried out. In addition, because these processes are automated, the working time of each process can be reduced. The reproducibility of the automated operation is equivalent to that of a skilled operator.
一种能够进行酶促反应和DNA提取过程的化学机器人已经研发出来。该机器人的基本功能包括处理带帽塑料管、微量移液、混合、微量离心和孵育。因此，几乎所有的电泳前步骤都可以进行。此外，由于这些过程是自动化的，每个过程的工作时间可以减少。自动化操作的可重复性与熟练操作员的相当。
