Abstract: Fully automating laboratory processes is a nontrivial task made more difficult by a lack of standardization between components. Each device in the system requires custom interfaces and translators to permit sharing of data and remote control by a central protocol. The BioCube System from Protedyne features the LILY data management software that enables communication between external databases, the robot controller, and integrated third-party devices. Data is formatted and passed internally as XML files to provide a generic interface for all the components. The resulting system allows the process to begin with the input of samples, and finish with the automatic export of data to a variety of data management software.
