Labware! The foundation of lab work, both automated and otherwise. How do the nitty gritty details of a #microplate impact an #automated workflow? Read up on #labautomation fundamentals at The Automated Lab.

The Lab Automation Device Landscape: Automation is transforming the way researchers and technicians carry out repetitive tasks from pipetting to data collection. Weโ€™ve written before about #labrobots, software, and #liquidhandlers, but what about everything else?

It's a 24 panel illustration, with a rotor (circle) with 24 open circles.  For each increment from 1 to 24, an additional circle is filled with blue or pink, in ways that create a symmetrical axis of mass, allowing the rotor to be balanced when rotating at high speeds.  The pinks generally show the odd numbers (divisible by 3) while the blues are the paired (divisible by 2) I think?

Weird intersection of math & centrifuge balancing:
Visual proof that it's possible to balance a 24-position centrifuge rotor for any number of equally-filled tubes EXCEPT 1 and 23.

Some of these are anxiety-inducing, though.
