AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
Conventional liquid handler devices face issues of reagent leakage and cross-contamination due to excessive pipette movement and direct operator intervention, leading to contamination of the working chamber and delays.
Method used
A liquid handler device with selectively openable and closable doors, powered by a shared motor system, minimizes contamination by allowing only necessary access for transport objects, reducing operator intervention and pipette movement.
Benefits of technology
The solution effectively reduces contamination and leakage risks by controlling access to the working chamber, enhancing operational efficiency and safety.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a liquid handler device having a plurality of opening and closing doors, configured to selectively open and close a part or all of a front entrance of a work chamber so as to open only a portion required for entry and exit of an object to be transported such as a well plate, thereby reducing the possibility of operator intervention and minimizing the risk of contamination of the work chamber and a liquid to be dispensed. The liquid handler device comprises a plurality of opening and closing doors aligned adjacent to each other in a horizontal direction so as to selectively open and close a part or all of the front entrance of the work chamber, each being independently movable upward and downward.
