Robotic Transport for Liquid Handling

By HospiMedica staff writers
Posted on 21 Apr 2005
A new robotic transport moves plates between devices, allowing the automation of more parts of a biologic process.

Called BRT, the transport is designed for use with the Biomek series liquid handling systems and assay workstations of Beckman Coulter (Fullerton, CA, USA; www.beckmancoulter.com). More...
While the Biomek liquid handler's gripper transports plates on the workstation deck, the additional transport can move plates from the deck to and from devices such as incubators and plate readers.

BRT is a pick-and-place robot with tight movements that conserve lab space. The rotating movements orient the plates to the destination device. BRT integrates with a variety of devices to meet application-specific needs.

"We developed the new BRT transport to increase integration with devices that are not directly accessible to our liquid handlers,” explained Margie Rogers, product marketing manager for Beckman Coulter. "This is just one more example of our on-going developments to meet the expanding needs of our customers.”
