Application Cases

Dynaflow's lights-out laboratory can automatically complete sample testing tasks according to preset technical routes. It also has partial self-learning and evolution capabilities, and can replace manual testing processes with high repetition, high precision requirements, high risk, or harsh environmental conditions. Lights-out laboratory applications cover: petroleum, chemical, materials, energy, food, synthetic biology, biopharmaceuticals, life sciences, and analytical testing fields.

In a lights-out laboratory for testing at a certain daily chemical enterprise, 1028 samples can be tested daily, which is 64.25 times the number of samples tested by traditional manual methods. The automatic weighing robot overcomes the difficulty of inaccurate control of viscous sample pipetting. After repeated weighing dozens or hundreds of times, the A1+ robot self-learns and evolves, becoming more accurate, infinitely approaching 0.1 grams. It is applied to the detection of viscous liquid samples such as shampoo, shower gel, and hand sanitizer. The lights-out laboratory can complete a large number of sample submissions in 24 hours, and finally automatically complete the detection and data transmission.

High-throughput viscous liquid sample testing:

AI + Lights-out Laboratories can process approximately 2000 bottles of samples and complete approximately 10,000 experiments per day. It has fully realized unmanned operation of the entire laboratory process, significantly improving experimental efficiency, safety, and data traceability. The number of laboratory scientific personnel can be reduced by 83%, and the laboratory construction area can be reduced by 40%.
