Abstract

Disclosed is virtual pipetting. A method for generating a control program for a laboratory automation device comprises: receiving configuration data of the laboratory automation device, the configuration data encoding positions of components in the laboratory automation device; generating a three-dimensional model of the components of the laboratory automation device from the configuration data, the three-dimensional model additionally including a virtual pipette; displaying the three-dimensional model with a virtual reality headset; receiving movement data of a motion sensing controller controlled by a user wearing the virtual reality headset, the movement data indicating a three-dimensional movement of the motion sensing controller in space; determining a movement of the virtual pipettefrom the movement data in the three-dimensional model and updating the three-dimensional model according to the movement of the virtual pipette; and generating a control program for the laboratory automation device from the movement data, wherein the control program is adapted for moving a pipetting arm with a pipette of the laboratory automation device with respect to the components accordingly to the movement of the virtual pipette in the three-dimensional model.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method, a computer program and a computer readable medium for generating a control program for a laboratory automation device and to a control system. Background technique [0002] Laboratory automation equipment is used to automate the tasks of laboratory assistants, such as testing patients for specific diseases. Typically, samples of a patient's blood, urine, feces, etc. are taken and analyzed by means of biochemical procedures. Such procedures consist in various operations like adding substances, incubating, separating, etc., and measuring processes to quantitatively or qualitatively measure the amount or presence of substances indicative of a specific disease. [0003] Often, the programming of laboratory automation equipment is a complex task that requires special skills. Programs for controlling laboratory automation equipment may have to be entered into the controlling PC. Although graphical tools may exist for gen...
