Applications

Designed for routine liquid handling workflows across Indian laboratories.

Lithmo’s platform is intended for repetitive liquid transfer and sample preparation workflows in diagnostics, biotechnology, academic research, and life science laboratories.

Target laboratory segments

Lithmo is focused on labs that need practical, affordable, and programmable automation for routine workflows.

Diagnostic laboratories

For routine sample preparation, reagent transfer, plate setup, and repetitive assay preparation tasks.

Biotechnology labs

For liquid handling workflows in molecular biology, assay development, screening, reagent handling, and experimental preparation.

Academic research labs

For universities, research groups, and early-stage laboratories that need accessible automation without high capital expenditure.

Life science facilities

For routine bench workflows where repeatability, productivity, and reduced manual effort are important.

Assay development labs

For teams developing, testing, and refining plate-based biological or biochemical assays.

Early-stage startups

For biotech and diagnostic startups that need flexible automation but cannot immediately invest in expensive imported systems.

Workflow areas

The system is being developed around common laboratory tasks that often require repeated pipetting steps.

Routine liquid handling

  • Liquid transfer between tubes and plates
  • Reagent dispensing
  • Sample distribution
  • Repeated pipetting tasks

Plate-based workflows

  • Microplate setup
  • Assay preparation
  • Serial dilution
  • Screening workflow preparation

Molecular biology support

  • PCR/qPCR preparation support
  • Template and reagent transfer
  • Buffer and enzyme dispensing workflows
  • Routine sample preparation steps

Immunoassay support

  • ELISA plate preparation support
  • Reagent addition workflows
  • Washing-related liquid transfer steps
  • Repeatable assay setup tasks

Why automation matters

Routine pipetting is essential but repetitive. Practical automation can help laboratories improve productivity, consistency, and scalability.

Reduce repetitive work

Automation can reduce the manual burden of repetitive liquid transfer tasks.

Improve consistency

Software-controlled workflows can support more repeatable execution of defined protocols.

Support scaling

Labs can handle more routine workflows without depending entirely on manual pipetting capacity.

Have a workflow that needs automation?

Lithmo is open to early discussions with labs and incubators to understand pilot workflows and practical automation needs.
