About the Cover

This figure was reproduced with the permission of the authors. Three-dimensional computer modeling techniques were used to design a task specific vented robotic enclosure with efficient worker and sample protection during automated robotic operations. This diagram shows the projected trajectories traveled by individual weightless particles inside the enclosure work area. Read about this topic "Task-Specific Ventilated Robotic Enclosures for Product and Worker Protection Against Biological Hazards in High-Throughput Laboratories" on pages 188-199.
