1. A fluid handling system comprising:
a support configured to receive at least one labware component at a labware site on the support; and
a projector configured to guide alignment of the at least one labware component at the labware site at least by providing an image of the at least one labware component onto the support;
at least one camera; and
a device comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing instructions that, when executed by the device, cause the one or more processors to assist in guiding the alignment by:
determining whether the at least one labware component is aligned on the support based on a comparison between one or more first pixels representing the at least one labware component and one or more second pixels representing the image of the at least one labware component;
causing the projector to provide the image using a first color based on the at least one labware component being aligned at the labware site; and
causing the projector to provide the image using a second color, different from the first color, based on the at least one labware component not being aligned at the labware site.
