DESCRIPTION:Dr. Johannes Schörgenhumer Senior Scientist - HTEL Lab (UZH)\
 nThis fall\, the high-throughput experimentation lab (HTEL) at the Univers
 ity of Zurich (UZH) has finally opened its doors officially and offers a v
 ariety of robotic platforms to support and accelerate research in the UZH 
 Department of Chemistry.\nBesides a sophisticated platform by Chemspeed\, 
 the main robotic capabilities are based on pipetting robots by Opentrons. 
 Our OT2 and Flex units have emerged as popular platform for a broad variet
 y of applications due to their very user-friendly\, open and flexible ecos
 phere\, their capable performance - and also due to the low access barrier
 . Over the past year\, numerous researchers and students have been trained
  to use the Opentrons devices\, which enabled them to harness the benefits
  of lab automation in a variety of research scenarios.\nThis presentation 
 will feature a quick overview of the UZH HTEL\, a basic introduction to la
 b automation and a demonstration of three conceptually very different rese
 arch projects which have been recently conducted in the HTEL\, covering DN
 A extraction from beech trees\, the analysis of bovine steroids and the sy
 nthesis of cyanine photocages.
