Scope
This document provides guidance and establishes requirements for collecting and examining volumetric performance data of automated liquid handling systems (ALHS). It specifies how to index and track volumetric performance data and provides descriptive statistics for the evaluation of these data.
This document also specifies reporting requirements of ALHS volumetric performance. This document is applicable to all ALHS with complete, installed liquid handling devices, including tips and other essential parts needed for delivering a specified volume, which perform liquid handling tasks without human intervention into labware.
NOTE For terminology and general requirements of automated liquid handling systems, see ISO 237831. Measurement procedures for the determination of volumetric performance are given in ISO 237832.
Purpose
Manual liquid handling is addressed in the standard series EN/ISO 8655 parts 1 thru 9. The series ISO 23783 parts 1 thru 3 pertains to automated liquid handing and complements ISO 8655. During the development of ISO 23783 significant efforts were made to harmonize with ISO 8655. Adoption of the ISO 23783 series as EN standards will provide a consistent and harmonized set of liquid handling standards.
