ABSTRACT
The nature of biotechnology work has changed as laboratory processes and equipment have evolved. Automated systems such as robotic high-throughput systems and image analysis have improved the workflow while increasing the precision of laboratory work. Unfortunately, the interface of the biotechnology worker with the improved tools and equipment remains a challenge. Many tasks continue to be completed with traditional microscopes, pipettes, and tools such as forceps that require prolonged awkward postures and repetitive motions.
