PlasmoTron: an open-source platform for automated culture of malaria parasites
[article]

pre-print
We have created a system which allows an inexpensive open- source liquid-handling robot to automate major aspects of malaria parasite culture. Parasites are cultured in multi-well microplates, with details on culture identity and parasitaemia recorded in a database. Information in the database is used to generate commands for the robot which result in the feeding, monitoring and passaging of parasite cultures. We show that the system is capable of raising cultures after transfection, and then
