Complete Solutions for
Discovery Research
Excellence in Liquid Handling Whether you are pipetting milliliters, microliters or nanoliters, the industry-standard Biomek NXP, Biomek FXP, BioRAPTR FRD™ and PicoRAPTR™ products deliver accuracy and precision to your research.
Innovative Design
For easy access, the Biomek Laboratory Automation Workstation is often mounted outside the safety enclosure, allowing further expansion through direct integrations. A plate shuttle provides a swift connection between the liquid handler deck and the Motoman's reach.
Expanded Capabilities
Multiple liquid handlers may be part of your system. Shown here, a Biomek NXP mounted inside the safety enclosure performs tube barcode reading and tube-to-plate transfer operations via its Span-8 pod.
Motoman HP3JC Robot Available in either a compact fixed (waist-based)
configuration or mounted on a rail for maximum device capacity, the robust Motoman arm is at the heart of the system.
Flexible Labware Storage Options Whatever your storage
and incubation needs, Beckman Coulter has the solution. In addition to our own efficient labware carousels, we can include Cytomat incubators from Thermo Fisher Scientific to protect your precious samples.
The Anatomy of an
Application-Specific Integrations
We will work with you to understand the needs of your research and to design a system with capabilities tailored to your laboratory needs. Drawing from our extensive experience with hundreds of third-party peripherals, we will arrange the system to work efficiently and be accessed easily.
Safety Enclosure
Every system ships with an enclosure designed to provide easy access while promoting safe operation.
World-Class Detection
We’ve integrated Beckman Coulter’s DTX Series Multimode Detectors and can integrate the exciting new PARADIGM™ Detection Platform into our Industrial Robotic Solutions to provide flexible, feature-packed, high-value options for result detection. And if you have standardized on a particular reader, we have experience integrating most available systems.
Security Features
Ensure Safe System Operation
Safety Enclosure
Every industrial robot solution we provide incorporates a safety enclosure specifically tailored to the hardware present on the system.
Built in compliance with industrial standards (ANSI/RIA R15.O6-1999), the safety enclosures serve a vital role in protecting both operators and samples. Interlocked doors prevent unsafe access to the system while it is in operation. During runs, the system can be paused, unlocking the doors.
Ready for Any Emergency
In the event of a sudden need to stop the system, strategically placed safety pendants allow the user to halt robot operations immediately to prevent damage to equipment or samples. In setup mode, the access door interlocks open to allow convenient access to labware and equipment.
Easy Access
During runs, the system can be paused and the doors unlocked to allow safe interaction with the equipment inside.
Intelligent Door Placement
Because each system is purpose-designed, access doors (full-length or table-mounted) are placed where they can provide easiest access to devices such as labware carousels and incubators or devices that need frequent interaction.
Liquid handlers such as the Biomek FXPmay be found outside the safety enclosure and provide protection via their built-in light curtains. Together, these features make working with a Beckman Coulter Industrial Robotic Solution a breeze.
Compliant with Local Standards
Industrial Robotic Solutions from Beckman Coulter, Inc. are tested to be in compliance with regulatory agencies worldwide.
SAMI Workstation EX has been updated to support the Motoman robot, delivering
the traditional power of the standard SAMI Workstation EX alongside customized
features needed in an industrial setting
Prevalidated Schedules and Data-Driven Dynamic Features Powerful scheduler interleaves actions to increase throughput and
provide a prevalidated schedule: • Know how long your assay will run
• Optimize resource utilization (i.e., labware, reagents) SAMI Workstation EX provides
a graphical interface that lets scientists and technicians describe complex assays in a straightforward, easy-to-understand manner.
• Draw the flow of plates through the assay • Configure: - Liquid transfer - Incubation - Detection - Washing • Specify resources
(i.e., fresh plates, tip boxes) The software takes care of the rest – intelligently handling plate movement.
Take advantage of information available to the assay during the run to change the flow of samples through the method with:
• IF node for decision making
• Reschedule node for resource planning and schedule re-optimizing • Data handling nodes for data-driven decisions
SAMI Workstation EX – Intelligent Automation Software
SAMI Workstation EX:
Seamless Biomek Integration
• SAMI Workstation EX extends the Biomek software for assays with incubations or timing constraints – giving you simplified programming and better throughput by interleaving operations
• SAMI Workstation EX uses the same labware and liquid transfer techniques to build assays quickly and leverage existing libraries of customer created knowledge • Simply describe the aspects of liquid handling that are
important to your experiment with the new Transfer node Tools to Manage Method Development
and Execution – Addressing 21 CFR Part 11 Complete control for lab supervisors with Beckman Coulter Accounts and Permissions with Tools for 21 CFR Part 11 Compliance
• Logs of operator interactions • Sensible method version tracking • Ensured data quality and integrity Help with Assay Execution
• Graphical reports describe labware positions and deck layout • Graphical run-time interface shows your method progress • Instant access to all labware information
Every laboratory has different needs. That's why Beckman Coulter will design a system solution engineered just for you. Since labware transport is often a bottleneck in throughput, we will optimize your system by incorporating the right components in the right places and connected by the right transportation – all driven and scheduled seamlessly by one software package.
A robust industrial robot capable of complex motions forms the basis of each system.
Most Biomeks have their own built-in gripper system, which keeps labware flowing smoothly for optimum productivity.
The BRT Robotic Transport is ideal for expanding the capacity of any system by leveraging the direct accessibility of conveyor-based transport while keeping the industrial robot busy with other tasks. Beckman Coulter’s innovative
plate shuttle moves plates on and off the Biomek Laboratory Automation Workstation deck . . . even while Biomek methods are running.
Conveyors deliver labware directly to the deck, allowing the industrial robot to focus on moving plates around the system.
