A benchtop automation system enables the automation of
technically challenging or repetitive processes. Numerous repetitive tasks
involved in modern drug discovery can be automated using small-scale automation
solutions. Typically, average labs have neither the budget, nor the space to
accommodate large automation facilities. Small-scale benchtop automation
systems can suit their purpose. Numerous labs are unaware of the laboratory
automation revolution. There has been a continuous focus on deploying
automation development resources towards user-friendly, small-scale automation
solutions. Recent advances in small scale bench-top automation can be
attributed to developments of instruments in the following areas: compact
configurations, extended pipetting ranges, enclosed instruments, pre-validated
protocols, turnkey solutions, new robotic configurations, new software and
end-user empowerment. Key application areas include sample preparation (such as
qPCR setup, next-gen sequencing and nucleic acid extraction), liquid
dispensing, cell-based arrays and others. Other developments threaten to open
up existing application areas to truly empowering automation, e.g.,
dose-response analysis.

Benefits such as
cost, better quality data and labor savings are key factors for making
small-scale benchtop automation accessible. Coupling these solutions with
moderate walkaway automation and moderate flexibility further enhances their
utility. The popularity of emerging applications of sample prep (qPCR setup,
next-gen sequencing, quantification and normalization of genomic DNA samples,
protein and nucleic acid extraction) is expected to boost the growth of this
market. Automation of a technically challenging or repetitive process is also
expected to be a key driver for market growth. Other drivers include demand for
more reliable data, expected increased in sample number/throughput, better
quality of assay results and inclination of ownership of the device rather than
sharing with a core facility. The advent of new innovative instrument launches
in the last decade is expected to generate significant interest among bench
scientists. High software flexibility needed to modify vendor-recommended
protocols; high investment price and training time are a few challenges to the
incorporation of this system.
North America
dominates the market, followed by Europe. However, Asia Pacific and Latin
America regions are expected to witness rapid growth, owing to rise in
biotechnology sector, increased research outsourcing by pharmaceutical giants
and growing industry demand for accreditation and standardization.
