This paper reviews the centrifugal 'Bio-Disk' platform which is based on rotationally controlled, multi-scale liquid handling to fully integrate and automate complex analysis and synthesis protocols in the life sciences. The platform offers the crucial ingredients for a rapid development of applications: a coherent library of fluidic unit operations, a device technology for actuation, liquid interfacing and detection as well as a developer toolbox providing experimental testing, rapid prototyping and simulation capabilities. Various applications in the fields of life science, in vitro diagnostics and micro-process engineering are demonstrated.
