Automate Your Sample Prep.Free Your Team for Higher-Value Work.
Dorna's sample preparation solution handles every repetitive step between sample receipt and analysis — liquid handling, mixing, aliquoting, serial dilutions, and instrument integration — across tubes and plates, in one compact benchtop system.

Sample Prep Is Your Lab's Biggest Bottleneck
Sample preparation is the most labor-intensive stage of any lab workflow. It's repetitive, technically demanding, and unforgiving — a single pipetting error or missed dilution step can invalidate an entire batch.
Skilled Hands, Wasted
Technicians spend hours on pipetting and transfers that should be automated — work that adds zero analytical value.
One Error, Whole Batch Lost
A single pipetting mistake or missed dilution step cascades through the protocol and invalidates everything downstream.
Rigid, Overpriced Systems
Traditional liquid handlers cost 5–10x more, only handle one format, and can't adapt to the mixed workflows labs actually run.
One System. Every Step of Your Sample Prep Workflow.
Dorna's modular platform combines the Dorna Core System with purpose-built sample preparation modules to automate your entire prep workflow — from first transfer to final aliquot. Handles mixed formats, variable volumes, and complex multi-step protocols. Integrates with balances, shakers, coolers, centrifuges, and other common lab instruments. Start with the steps that matter most and add capabilities as your workflow grows. No custom engineering. No lengthy integration.
What This System Does
Liquid Handling & Dispensing
Precise, repeatable pipetting, dispensing, and reagent addition across tubes and plates — via pipetting or syringe pump.
Aliquoting
Accurate, repeatable aliquoting into tubes or plates at any volume.
Serial Dilutions
Executes complex serial dilution protocols with consistent accuracy.
Mixing & Vortexing
Thorough, consistent mixing at every step — no more manual vortexing.
Instrument Integration
Interfaces with balances, shakers, coolers, centrifuges, and other common lab instruments.
Built From Proven Modules
Every Sample Preparation solution starts with the Dorna Core System — robot, rail, vision, and fixture plate — pre-configured and ready to build on. Modules are added based on your specific workflow.
