The four-layer architecture
Every step below flows through the same four layers — you work at the top, in plain language; the Undergrad handles everything down to camera-verified motion.

Atomic actionsPrecise instrument-level moves — each confirmed on camera before the next.
Steps, layer by layer
1Lyse & bind~10 min
Atomic actionsAdd lysis/binding buffer and magnetic beads to the sample plate; mix and incubate.
Vision-verified◉ Vision confirms dispense and mixing.
2Remove supernatant~5 min
Atomic actionsEngage the magnet and remove the supernatant to waste.
Vision-verified◉ Vision verifies magnet engagement and clearance.
3Wash~10 min
Atomic actionsRun the wash series, verifying clearance between washes.
4Elute~5 min
Atomic actionsElute purified DNA into a clean plate.
