Measuring liquid volumes in lab plates to check dispensing accuracy
Small dispensing errors change compound concentrations and undermine assay reproducibility. These errors can remain invisible until an experiment fails, weakening downstream conclusions. Laboratory data also often lacks the structure and verification needed to train and validate AI models.
Aventix offers Scarlett 01, a benchtop instrument that measures liquid volumes in microplates without touching samples. Its SensVue software maps and exports measurements, helping researchers verify liquid handling in screening and assay development.
