Automated Laboratory Equipment are increasingly becoming in demand as laboratories take on demands for higher throughput and automation. These specialized instruments are designed to increase productivity, allowing scientists to produce even more data and focus on multiple tasks. 

This month's cover story, "Automated Laboratory Equipments: 5 Problems You Could Face" was contributed by Microbioz India editorial. The use of automated technology in the laboratory with the purpose of enabling new and enhanced processes is known as laboratory automation.

The repetitive chores that were formerly carried out manually by lab personnel or scientists, such as preparing libraries or handling liquids, are often eliminated by lab automation technologies. Nevertheless, as technology develops, it becomes possible to automate increasingly complicated operations and even entire processes.  Moreover, automated technology is becoming a necessity in today's laboratories in order to meet demand and remain competitive.
