Versa 1100 automated liquid handling workstation

The Versa 1100 automated liquid handling workstation is a multichannel liquid handling system that maximises accuracy, precision and throughput while minimising time and consumable costs.

The system offers flexibility in volume range, liquid handling modules, deck modules and labware adapters for custom applications used in specific protocols.

The Versa 1100 features a large volume range (nL to mL). The multi-channel liquid handling module includes an eight-channel SyringePipettor where one channel can be used independently for master-mix preparation, cherry picking, etc.

16-channel and 96-channel liquid handling module options are available.

The units also feature a 5- to 8-channel ReagentDrop cluster for bulk dispensing of reagents, a disposable tip changer and autoclavable tubes which reduce cross-contamination issues

The workstation is compatible with most commercially available kits. It has user-friendly drag-and-drop software; UV/fluorescent light/HEPA-filter hood option; aqueous/organic solvent compatibility; a small footprint; and is integratable with third-party equipment.

The Versa 1100 workstation can be configured to accommodate protocols with diverse needs. Whether a workflow requires accurate temperature control, precise handling of small volumes or customised liquid handling, the workstation provides a solution. The platform has the flexibility to handle a wide array of bench work.

Numerous methods that are widely used have been automated with different formats of the workstation and the system remains customisable to accommodate unique needs.
