Robotics, Nanotechnology and Microfluidics

Robotics is a scientific and technology academic topic that deals with all types of robots. Robotics is currently one of the most popular and hotly debated developing technologies. It is in the headlines every day and affects every aspect of our life. Robotics has applications in every area, from manufacturing to surgery, with the largest improvements in surgery. Within the developed world, the employment of robotic equipment to substitute human engagement is becoming more common. This is the most inventive sector, since it has been demonstrated that robotic replacements cut the cost of human labor, remove human mistakes, boost productivity, and achieve the perfect scenario of improving affordability and efficiency at the same time.

The ability to amplify uncommon transcripts has aided significant progress in the knowledge of gene expression patterns in human disease in genomics. Proteomics' ability to examine human disease with the same complexity as genomic investigations has been hindered by its inability to raise the copy number and detect the signal of uncommon proteins as unique species in biological samples. Researchers are now able to identify low-abundance proteins in samples using nanoparticles and nanoscale devices because of advancements in nanotechnology. Current technology, when combined with rapid developments in protein identification and isolation over the last decade, allows for more effective multiplexing and increased signal-to-noise, greatly improving the detection of low-abundance proteins in cellular and tissue lysates.

Microfluidics is the science and technology of systems that process or manipulate small volumes of fluidics (10-9 to 10-18L) through channels that are tens to hundreds of micrometres wide. Microfluidic devices in combination with mass spectrometers have shown to be effective instruments for handling the complicated analytical issues that come with the field of proteomics. Current proteome identification processes entail a series of stages that take many hours of time and effort to complete. Because of its ability to handle small sample volumes with the potential for high-throughput parallel analysis, microfluidics can play a key role in proteomic sample preparation stages prior to mass spectral identification, such as sample clean up, digestion, and separations. An efficient interface between the microchip and the mass spectrometer is necessary to use microfluidic devices for proteome analysis.
