Lab Automation Equipment in Australia: How LabChoice is Transforming Modern Laboratories

Laboratory automation is no longer reserved for high-end research centres — it is rapidly becoming a standard for schools, universities, and diagnostic labs across Australia. From automated liquid handling systems to robotic sample storage, automation improves efficiency, reproducibility, and compliance, helping laboratories achieve more with fewer resources. At LabChoice Australia, we supply automation equipment tailored to the needs of both educational and professional laboratories, making advanced science more accessible and reliable.

What is Lab Automation Equipment?

Lab automation equipment includes systems designed to handle repetitive or complex laboratory tasks with minimal human input. Examples include:

• Automated liquid handling systems for pipetting and PCR setup.
• Plate readers and washers for high-throughput assays.
• Robotic storage solutions for sample management.
• Automated centrifuges and balances for precision handling.

These systems reduce manual labour, lower error rates, and improve consistency across experiments.

Why Australian Labs Are Moving to Automation

• Efficiency: Faster throughput means more samples processed per day.
• Accuracy: Automated systems minimise pipetting and measurement errors.
• Safety: Reduced human contact with hazardous samples or chemicals.
• Scalability: Equipment can grow with lab needs, from teaching to advanced research.
• Compliance: Supports adherence to AS/NZS, ISO 17025, and GLP standards.
