Laboratory Automation

Motion Design are laboratory automation specialists with a long history of developing innovative laboratory machine products and custom software designed to streamline laboratory workflows. We design solutions that enhance efficiency, accuracy, and throughput across a wide range of lab environments.

Our laboratory automation systems, products, and software have been successfully deployed in numerous countries worldwide, helping labs automate sample handling, testing processes, and data management. By integrating robotics, AI and vision, sample and liquid handling, filter paper folding, aliquoting, and tailored software, we enable laboratories to reduce manual errors, speed up analysis, reduce repetitive strain injuries, minimise handling of dangerous chemicals and optimise overall productivity.

Mapper_weigher

Flask Mapper Weigher

An essential tool in dairy herd improvement (DHI) and laboratory testing, designed to accurately measure milk yield in flasks with machine vision to identify trays of samples and determine volume.

Bead_dispenser

Bead Dispenser

Our dispenser rapidly and consistently dispenses beads into a deep well plate. Used for mechanical cell lysis (bead beating) for the extraction of nucleic acids (DNA/RNA) or proteins from biological samples.

Bottle_press

Bottle Press

Maximise efficiency when handling challenging raw materials. This powerful press replaces difficult manual labour by processing multiple bottles simultaneously, specifically engineered to empty containers with high-viscosity substances.

sample_sorting_robot

Sample Sorting Machine

Precision sorting automation driven by two industrial robots and an advanced vision system. The SSM identifies trays and vials via RFID/Barcode while simultaneously measuring milk levels and documenting non-compliant samples. Fully LIMS-integrated, it automates sorting based on 6 analytical criteria to eliminate manual handling and ensure total traceability

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)

Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
