Biomedical Automation

The Challenge:A leading university research laboratory required a highly precise, automated fluid handling system to run continuous 24/7 experiments. Manual pipetting was causing unacceptable human error rates and severely limiting their research throughput.

Our Solution:MX FUTURE designed a custom 6-layer PCB integrating precision stepper motor drivers and an ARM Cortex microcontroller. We developed custom firmware for micro-stepping control and provided a user-friendly desktop software interface for the researchers to program fluid sequences seamlessly.

The Impact:The custom hardware completely eliminated human dispensing errors and increased experiment throughput by over 300%. The lab has since standardized this equipment across multiple research teams.
