Even automation would not solve this issue. If these results are scent related, then it is quite possible that different automation methods would produce different scents, or even the same method, in a different environment / location.

This is a fascinating issue.

But you could at least use the same automation methods across different study groups within the same study, eliminating potential confounding variables between your groups.
