Market Overview

Automated liquid handling (ALH) systems are devices that are carefully configured to manage liquids and provide exact, repeatable outcomes in clinical and research settings without any complication. In clinical and research labs, effective and precise liquid handling techniques are crucial. For usage in methods like ELISA, time-resolved fluorescence, nucleic acid preparation, PCR setup, next-generation sequencing for genomic research, TLC spotting, SPE, and liquid-liquid extraction, automated liquid handling systems can be made more effective. Automatic liquid handling equipment has a number of benefits, including the ability to simplify sample preparation while keeping high precision, allowing labs to run more samples while maintaining repeatability, and reducing the need for manual labour. By shortening setup times and protocol creation, it aids in sample preparation requirements for proteins, metabolites, as well as genomics and NGS applications.

Market Segmentation

• In 2021, the Automated Liquid Handling Workstations accounted the largest market share over the forecast period

On the basis of product, the automated liquid handling systems market is segmented into Automated Liquid Handling Workstations, Reagents & Consumables. Among these, the automated liquid handling workstations accounted the largest market share over the forecast period. Based on their assembly and kind, automated liquid handling workstations can be further divided. These devices are divided into standalone and integrated workstations depending on their assembly, and multipurpose workstations, pipetting workstations, specialist liquid handlers, and workstation modules based on their kind. The deployment of automated workstations is driven by the escalating competition between pharmaceutical companies and their pursuit of new medications to treat ailments. Higher market penetration of standalone pipettors is attributed to their tiny footprint and ability to integrate with other devices with nanoliter capabilities.

• In 2021, the drug discovery and ADME-Tox research is dominating the market over the forecast period.

Based on application, the automated liquid handling system is segmented into Drug Discovery & ADME-Tox Research, Cancer & Genomic Research, Bioprocessing/Biotechnology, Others. Among these, the drug discover and ADME-Tox research is dominating the market over the forecast period. In a single drug discovery experiment, nearly a million molecules are screened to find a new therapeutic candidate. Microarray technology demonstrates the typical criteria of liquid handling, such as high throughput, low volume, and great accuracy and precision. Stepwise serial dilution over a large concentration range, compound selection and transfer for retest, confirmatory and further analysis are only a few of the many applications in drug discovery and ADME-Tox. Automated liquid handling workstations are primarily utilised in drug discovery and ADME-Tox research for plate-to-plate dilutions, plate replications, and plate reformatting. One key benefit of adopting automated liquid handling systems in drug development is the possibility to integrate several types of liquid handlers, stackers, or incubators to increase throughput.

• In 2021, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology segment is dominating market over the forecast period.

On the basis of end user, the automated liquid handling system is segmented into Academic & Research Institutes, Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology Companies, Contract Research Organizations. Among these, the pharmaceutical and biotechnology segment is dominating market over the forecast period. For drug discovery facilities, automated liquid handlers were developed. Its rapid expansion in drug discovery and manufacture is being facilitated by the regular requirement to distribute liquid samples on different substrates and transfer them to containers of varied sizes. Pharma and biotech firms are anticipated to continue to dominate the market in the years to come as a result of this rise in the usage of automation for drug screening and drug development.
