Liquid Handling Market- Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Competition, Opportunities and Forecast, 2018-2028F Segmented by Type, Product, Application, End-User, By Region

Liquid Handling Market is estimated to grow during the forecast year owing to the advancement in liquid handling systems. Liquid handling designs are mostly used in clinical analysis, high-throughput screening, and delicate sampling. The capacity to screen large collections of chemicals at a faster rate with better reliability and efficiency has been greatly expanded due to the significant advancements in the modification and designing of liquid handling systems. These developments tend toward miniaturization, largely in an effort to lower costs and boost throughput. With the approaching modernization, a variety of fluid handlers that use various technologies for specific purposes have been created for each step of the drug development process.

Many different types of liquid handlers can be used as stand-alone parts by operating separately from any other machinery. These liquid handling devices are typically built into bigger stations, which simplify regular activities, minimize human involvement, and enable multitasking in a single run. These liquid handling systems can be small workstations with specialized functions or completely automated robotic decks with the ability to carry out an endless variety of operations. In recent years, academic research in the United States has become significantly more interested in high-throughput screening technology. The Society for Biomolecular Sciences in the US maintains an extensive listing of academic screening facilities. It not only gives the academic community high-throughput screening (HTS) materials but also aids in the search for probes and leads for drug discovery.

In the pharmaceutical sector, high-throughput screening techniques are widely employed to quickly examine the biological or biochemical activity of many compounds, typically pharmaceuticals. The liquid handling techniques make use of robotics and automation because they speed up target analysis since vast compound libraries can be swiftly and affordably screened. High-throughput screening (HTS) is a helpful tool for evaluating things like pharmacological targets, agonists, antagonists' receptors (such as GPCRs), and enzymes.

Liquid Handling in Clinical Research and Drug Development will Support the Global Liquid Handling Market.

Basically, the use of liquid handling technology is done to precisely dispense small volumes for miniaturized drug screens. A simple pipet to a sophisticated workstation is an example of liquid handling equipment used in the development of pharmaceuticals. Micropipettes, pipettes, dispensers, and burettes are among the more suitable and efficient liquid-handling tools for drug research. These are essential because instruments used for handling liquids are very flexible. They can help in the movement of cells, proteins, oligonucleotides, or other biological components and are utilized for a range of purposes, including pipetting, transferring, diluting, dosing, and dispensing. The equipment's high throughput, capacity, and dynamic volume range enable this tremendous flexibility.

Earlier, liquid handling equipment was proven inefficient at lowering the cost of quality control procedures due to the lack of appropriate technology. But now, the high precision capabilities of liquid handling instruments are helping to ensure the reliability of clinical research results' accuracy.

Automated Liquid Handling with Integration of Artificial Intelligence

The implementation of artificial intelligence to manage various phases of the procedure and to fully utilize internet connectivity to communicate with users remotely are the next steps for liquid handling systems. The majority of the sampling, combining, and mixing of liquid samples can be done automatically with the help of multipurpose liquid handling automated workstations. The in-built software in the automated liquid handling system is able to provide high degrees of error management and adapt the instrument's activity to novel conditions that may arise during sample processing by relying on machine learning (e.g., compensating for nozzle clogging or reacting to a defect in a disposable tip). These workstations are self-managed and represent efficient walk-away solutions for the optimization of laboratory resources by reporting problems in real-time to remote operators and outlining their reaction to the issue. Some of the widely used software u in liquid handling systems include Biomek Software in Biomek Automated Workstations and Echo Software Applications which can create liquid handling protocols for specific applications with a minimum requirement of training.

The creation of self-learning software will also make it easier to integrate various components, enabling labs to add or delete particularly functional components from an automated workflow. Modularity will, thus, boost the system's overall versatility and enable a wider range of applications for automated liquid handling equipment in biomedical laboratories.

Increasing Investments in the Drug Development by Companies

Liquid handlers are used to put pharmacological substances through ADMET assays, which are useful for determining features of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity. In-depth knowledge about how drugs interact with the human body is provided by ADMET testing, and this data profile is crucial in the decision-making process to carry out or halt any future medication research.

Companies like Tecan Group AG have been in the business of manufacturing liquid handling systems since the 1980s, which is now also enhancing its technology by providing a new modified liquid handling system that has a movable liquid handler arm with multiple dispense tips to ease the work and enhance accuracy. To enhance ADME (Absorption, Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion) screening in the early stages of drug discovery, Tecan has developed a variety of automated screening methods. These platforms, for automated cell permeability, drug solubility, in vitro drug metabolism, protein binding tests, and compound characterization operations, are based on adaptable and scalable liquid handling platforms. By this, the Tecan multimode readers can be integrated to enable walkaway processing with complete sample tracking.

Growing Adoption of Liquid Handling by Industry and Academics

It may be easier to conduct experiments if liquid handling devices are more widely used. The method was initially embraced by companies and industry-based laboratories, but it has since spread to academic settings where a wide range of unconventional/unusual experiments can be conducted. According to current procedures or laboratory tests, researchers transfer liquids for the purpose of dilution, mixing, or inoculation to carry out the experimentation further. By operating the liquid handling systems remotely, operations can be performed more robustly and in a resilient way against outside influences which can hamper the work or can increase the chances of contamination; it can also help in carrying out more tests at a time which was seen during the time of COVID-19 pandemic for rapid antigen testing thus, liquid handling system can make laboratories more efficient.
