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.

Robot actionsEach stage becomes grouped operations: move, aspirate, dispense, incubate, read.

Atomic actionsPrecise instrument-level moves — each confirmed on camera before the next.
Steps, layer by layer
1Lyse & add beads~5 min
Atomic actionsAdd lysis/binding buffer and magnetic beads to the sample plate and mix thoroughly.
Vision-verified◉ Vision confirms tip pickup and full-plate dispense.
2Bind~5 min
Atomic actionsIncubate to bind nucleic acids to the magnetic beads.
3Wash~10 min
Atomic actionsEngage the magnet and run the wash series, verifying clearance between each wash.
Vision-verified◉ Vision verifies magnet engagement and supernatant removal.
4Elute~5 min
Atomic actionsElute purified RNA into a clean plate, ready for downstream qPCR or library prep.
