Combining interface robots and mobile robots can achieve full automation in distributed laboratories with changing applications and requirements. Metal content analysis of samples is now fully automated with ICP/MS. mobile robots transfer the prepared samples from the microwave station while an interface robot links the mobile robot and auto sampler of the ICP/MS system, removing lines or transferring samples to an automated capper. The interface robot then transports the samples to the connected auto sampler allowing measurements to start automatically.
