Summary:
In this dissertation a computer-aided automation design methodology for biotechnology applications is proposed that leads to several design guidelines. Because of the biological nature of the samples that propagate in the automation line, a very specific set of environmental and maximum allowed shelf time conditions have to be followed to obtain good yield. In addition all biotechnology protocols require precise sequence of steps, the samples are scarce and the reagents are costly, so no waste can be afforded.
