"The Agilent Bravo automated liquid handling platform’s exceptional pipetting accuracy has always been a cornerstone of its utility. The integration of a thermal cycler (ODTC) now broadens its application, enabling an even more diverse spectrum of experimental possibilities. While the PCR program’s setup may initially appear unconventional, once accustomed to it, the configuration process becomes swift, taking only a few minutes. We frequently adjust the number of PCR cycles and annealing temperatures; however, the program has preconfigured all the patterns, making them easily selectable from pull-down menus. We employ consumable lids for positioning plates in the thermal cycler, which has s
