Dual-head magnetic liquid handler robot for high throughput antibody purification apparatus, system and method

Abstract

An apparatus, system, process, and method for purifying, handling and otherwise processing engineered biologics molecules which may comprise plate-based antibody purification processes is disclosed. The resultant purified molecules may be further processed optimized, and/or used in other manufacturing processes and/or manufactured products. In one embodiment the system and method employed for the processing and purifying of antibodies comprises a high speed, high throughput, dual-head magnetic liquid handler robot and related systems which efficiently produces end product at high yields. In certain embodiments, the system is fully automated providing for cost-effective and efficient means for purifying, handling and otherwise processing engineered biologics molecules such as the purification of plate-based antibodies in commercially advantageous quantities. The resultant purified molecules may be further processed optimized, and/or used in other manufacturing processes and/or manufactured products. Also disclosed is an embodiment of the invention which utilizes a magnetic liquid handler robot and related systems comprising a single robotic arm which automatically interchanges tooling heads and which efficiently produces end product at high yields.
