About

Dr. Long Yuan is a leading innovator in bioanalytical automation, whose work has transformed the efficiency and reliability of regulated laboratory workflows. His primary research focuses on the development of robotic liquid handling systems and software-driven sample preparation, specifically targeting the bottlenecks of biological sample dilution and dried blood spot (DBS) analysis. Dr. Yuan’s major contribution is the creation of a user-friendly, Microsoft Excel-based robotic program that fully automates the complex, multi-step process of biological sample pipetting and dilution. This work, cited 23 times, directly addressed a rate-limiting step in bioanalysis, enabling the precise handling of samples with concentrations beyond standard curve ranges. Further demonstrating his impact, his pioneering method for automated DBS standard and QC sample preparation (15 citations) replaced labor-intensive manual spotting and cutting, significantly reducing human error and processing time. By designing accessible, software-driven solutions for liquid handlers, Dr. Yuan has empowered laboratories to achieve higher throughput and data integrity, making him a pivotal figure in the advancement of modern, automated bioanalysis.
