  "summary": "Laboratory automation is increasingly being adopted in academic research to improve throughput, reproducibility, and integration with computational workflows. A common bottleneck in molecular biology workflows is the isolation of DNA, typically performed with spin-column kits relying on centrifugation or vacuum. Existing automation solutions depend on magnetic separation systems requiring costly…",
