What will make any of them better is some handling automation to load and unload from a row of 96 vial holders.
Another feature most of those lack is an app that lets you easily keep track
of what's been done, print labels for vials, etc. I'd like to develop an app for mine that
shows a spreadsheet-like grid of data that maps to what is lined up in wells, and also
detects every time a well is unloaded by a human hand and notes that on the data and could ask
aloud if the human attached to the hand wants a label printed for the vial they are taking.
