Scope

This document defines terms relating to automated liquid handling systems (ALHS). This document also specifies general requirements for the use of ALHS. It describes types of ALHS and specific use requirements, settings, and adjustments for each ALHS type. It also specifies environmental requirements for the use of ALHS.

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 Measurement procedures for the determination of volumetric performance are given in ISO 237832. The determination, specification, and reporting of volumetric performance of automated liquid handling systems are described in ISO 237833.

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.
