So the dispenser runs through the wells and dispenses fixed volumes of liquids per row

Such a thing could be used in the final detection phase of an ELISA protocol, or simply as a really really fast pipette

( videos to come :D )

Very cool project. Some future features you may want to think about:

-If you add imaging it could be used for high-throughput crystallography.

-If you can control position of the pipette and flow speed of the liquid, it could be used for cell culture. Sterilizing it would be tricky though.

-If you add multiple liquids it could be used for immunocytochemistry.

1)I've always been of the assumption that imaging is rather difficult 2)Currently the pipettes are stationary and the plate moves .. and the flow speed absolutely already built in :D 3) multiple liquids = id love to see a modular bolt on pump ( HMMMM )

2.) Maybe he meant you could spread the solute over an agar flat plate?

fast is great, but is it accurate too?

Yes. I think the LH001 is to biochem lab-grade liquid handlers what the MakerBot is to high-end commercial 3D printers.

It's the easy squirt oven! Is there a vid of this thing doing its duty? I'd love to see how it works!

I think it's a time machine.

ha ... cant wait to get it up and running.. and yeah!

automation + high level, platform-independent controls

YES!
