Coronavirus (COVID-19) was discovered in late December, 2019, in Hubei province of Wuhan city in China. The disease is caused by a virus, namely, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), which is transmitted among humans. Testing for COVID-19 has been an ongoing bottleneck in the fight against COVID-19. With growth in need to process specimens faster with greater accuracy, interest in automated liquid handlers and robotics that can handle the workload has been increasing rapidly. Overall, the impact of COVID-19 on the automated liquid handling industry was recorded to be fairly positive. This was attributed to increase in customizations of automated liquid handling systems by different automated liquid handling suppliers specifically for work related to coronavirus. For instance, in April 2020, Hamilton Company and Zymo Research Corporation announced that they have collaborated and launched MagEx STARlet assay-ready workstation with Quick-DNA/RNA Viral MagBead Kit protocol to extract pure DNA/RNA from the novel coronavirus, SARS-CoV-2. The jointly developed automated solution offers significant advantages compared to manual processing of samples via traditional time-consuming methods such as spin columns.

Analyst Review
Automated liquid handling industry have streamlined research workflows to a great extent and have reduced manual effort required in liquid transfer operations. Manual pipetting can be prone to error and is not very reproducible. This creates additional bottlenecks in overall research experiment, when experiments are not satisfactorily reproduced. Therefore, different research laboratories globally are adopting ALH systems as they deliver error-free reproducible results. ALH systems comprise instruments and equipment that are used to handle liquids and execute different functions related to liquid transfer in a clinical and research environment.
The use of ALH systems has resulted in efficient high-throughput screening of chemical compounds. High-throughput screening is of utmost necessity in the pharmaceutical industry to execute drug discovery and development. Likewise, in research settings, routine laboratory procedures equipped with ALH through work-stations allow researchers to think deeply and unconventionally about their experiment outcomes.
