The benefits of automation in the clinical laboratory are well documented. They involve replacing manual, potentially dangerous, error-prone steps with automated processes requiring minimal operator intervention. This approach can increase productivity, decrease turnaround time, improve staff safety, minimize errors, improve the handling of specimens, and allow labs to reallocate personnel to more important and productive tasks.

For drug discovery, automation also offers benefits. bringing a new drug to market has been both a very time-intensive, laborious and expensive undertaking.
