High-throughput solid microsampling through stochastic robotic automation

Solid sampling at the sub-milligram and milligram scale remains a major bottleneck for high-throughput chemistry or material sciences, as existing approaches rely on manual handling or slow deterministic microsampling that do not readily scale.

Here we present STORMS, an automated STOchastic Robotic MicroSampling system that enables fast, reliable and parallel sampling of solid materials at sub-milligram and milligram masses.
