AI-Powered Voice-Activated Pipettes Streamline Processes and Increase Lab Productivity

INTEGRA Biosciences (Zizers, Switzerland) has made its first foray into the world of artificial intelligence with the release of voice-activated pipettes that are designed to offer workflow benefits far beyond simplifying pipetting tasks. Initially available for VOYAGER pipettes and D-ONE single channel pipetting modules on the ASSIST PLUS pipetting robot, this voice assistant technology uses artificial intelligence to greatly streamline routine processes and increase laboratory productivity.

The new voice assistant can also tell the time and local weather, as well as remind of upcoming meetings and tasks - much like smart phones or desktops apps. The software uses state-of-the-art voice recognition technology to recognize individuals, and can even be taught to use the correct names. It responds to instructions, and can be told which programs to run without having to press a single button. This innovation will make automated pipetting procedures almost contactless, requiring minimal physical input and supervision from the user. The voice assistant also keeps tabs on stock levels, and can put in orders directly from the INTEGRA e-shop, lightening the load of busy staff and ensuring labs never run out of essential supplies.
