Liquid handler systems can provide significant benefits to researchers by automating laboratory work, however, their unaffordable price provides a steep barrier to entry. Therefore, we provide the BioCloneBot, a versatile, low-cost, and open-source automated liquid handler. This system can be easily built with 3D-printed parts and readily available commercial components. The BioCloneBot is highly adaptive to user needs and facilitates various liquid handling tasks in research and diagnostics. Its user-friendly interface and programmable nature make it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small-scale experiments to larger laboratory setups. By utilizing BioCloneBot, researchers and scientists can streamline their liquid handling processes without the financial constraints posed by traditional systems. In this paper, we detail the design, construction, and validation of BioCloneBot, showcasing its precise control, accuracy, and repeatability in various liquid handling tasks. The open-source nature of the system encourages collaboration and customization, enabling researchers to contribute and adapt the technology to specific experimental requirements.
