Automated liquid handling systems are computerized devices utilized in laboratory settings to execute liquid transfers with precision. These systems utilize software to execute diverse protocols, enabling accurate sample preparation for high-throughput sequencing, screening, bioassays, and other applications. They may incorporate components such as heating or cooling mechanisms, shaking functionality, and centrifugal force for contactless liquid removal.
The primary classifications of automated liquid handling systems include fully automated and semi-automated variants. Fully automated liquid handling systems are sophisticated machines engineered to automate the process of pipetting liquids in laboratory environments, thereby improving efficiency and accuracy. These systems find applications in diverse fields such as drug discovery and ADME-Tox research, cancer and genomic research, bioprocessing or biotechnology, among others. They are utilized by various end-users including contract research organizations, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, as well as academic and research institutes.

The increasing prevalence of chronic diseases is expected to drive the growth of the automated liquid handling systems market. Chronic diseases refer to long-lasting conditions that can be managed but typically cannot be completely cured. The rise in chronic diseases is attributed to factors such as increased consumption of processed foods, sedentary lifestyles with prolonged sitting, and reduced physical activity. Automated liquid handling systems offer several benefits, including improved accuracy, reproducibility, and throughput compared to manual pipetting, making them essential in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. For example, a report published in August 2022 by the American College of Cardiology, a US-based non-profit medical association, projected a rise in all four major cardiovascular risk factors in the United States from 2025 to 2060. Diabetes is expected to experience the largest increase, rising by 39.3% to affect 55 million individuals, followed by dyslipidemia (up 27.6% to 126 million), hypertension (up 25.1% to 162 million), and obesity (up 18.3% to 126 million). Additionally, significant increases in cardiovascular diseases, such as stroke (up 33.8% to 15 million) and heart failure (up 33.4% to 13 million), are expected, along with ischemic heart disease (up 30.7% to 29 million) and heart attack (up 16.9% to 16 million). As a result, the growing prevalence of chronic diseases is driving the demand for automated liquid handling systems.
The enterprises operating in the automated liquid handling systems market are directing their efforts toward the development of dual-core pipetting technology solutions to bolster their market presence. Dual-core pipetting technology, a sophisticated liquid handling system utilized in laboratory settings, enables accurate and precise dispensing of liquids. For instance, SPT Labtech introduced the apricot DC1 in February 2022, a compact 4-in-1 automated liquid handling platform designed to enhance throughput, standardization, and data quality across various applications. This innovative platform consolidates four distinct pipetting instruments into a single compact unit, facilitating high-volume and low-volume single- and multichannel pipetting tasks.
