Abstract

Abstract. A general‐purpose laboratory robot was configured to prepare blood samples for the HBsAg and anti‐HIV tests. Several issues were studied in order to eliminate problems and optimize the system. These included pipetting accuracy, intersample carryover, reagent interference, splashing and aerosol generation and user‐related issues. A number of general guidelines were developed to assist others in developing and implementing systems for this and similar applications.
