ABSTRACT
Automation of liquid handling is indispensable to improve throughput and reproducibility in biochemical assays. However, the incorporation of automated systems into laboratory workflows is often hindered by the high cost and complexity associated with building robotic liquid handlers. Here, we report a 3D-printed liquid handler based on a fluidic manifold, thereby obviating the need for complex robotic mechanisms. The fluidic manifold, termed a dispensing and aspirating (DA) device, comprises parallelized multi-pipette structures connected by distribution and aspiration channels, enabling the precise supply and removal of reagents, respectively. Leveraging the versatility of 3D printing, the DA device can be custom-designed and printed to fit specific applications. As a proof-of-principle, we engineered a 3D-printed liquid handler dedicated for 3D digital rolling circle amplification (4DRCA), an advanced biochemical assay involving multiple sample preparation steps such as antibody incubation, cell fixation, nucleic acid amplification, probe hybridization, and extensive washing. We demonstrate the efficacy of the 3D-printed liquid handler to automate the preparation of clinical samples for the simultaneous, in situ analysis of oncogenic protein and transcript markers in B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cells using 4DRCA. This approach provides an effective and accessible solution for liquid handling automation, offering high throughput and reproducibility in biochemical assays.
