Aurora Instruments Versa 10 Automated Liquid Handling Workstation

Aurora Instruments has released the Versa 10 Automated Liquid Handling Workstation. The product has been developed to simplify laborious routine protocols by combining automated multichannel dispensing (four or eight channels) with single-channel, cherry-picking functionality.

The customisable system set-up and optional deck modules allow users to automate a range of applications such as PCR/qPCR plate formatting, sequence reaction set-up, enzymatic modifications and general liquid handling. Accommodating all common reagents and labware, this compact device is suitable for hospital research, diagnostics and agriculture research laboratories.

The product accommodates 96- and 384-well formats, and allows PCR set-up in 96-well plates in 6 min. Each dispense is highly accurate, and the air displacement pipetting prevents cross-contamination, ensuring reliable and reproducible results.

Optional modules such as plate heaters, reagent coolers and shakers enhance the workstation’s functionality. The product has been designed with a small footprint to fit in limited benchtop spaces.
