Classifying liquid handling procedures with a neural network

A method for classifying liquid handling procedures, the method comprising:

• receiving measurement data encoding a measurement curve of measurements over time during a liquid handling procedure;
• inputting the measurement data into a neural network;
• inputting liquid handling data into the neural network, wherein the liquid handling data encode a configuration and/or setting of a laboratory automation system performing the liquid handling procedure;
• and
• calculating at least one quality value for the liquid handling procedure with the neural network;
• wherein the neural network comprises at least one measurement data branch composed of at least one layer and a liquid handling data branch composed of at least one layer;
• and
• wherein the measurement data is input into an input layer of the measurement data branch and the liquid handling data is input into an input layer of the liquid handling data branch.
