Beckman Coulter BIOMEK Robotic Sample Handling Systems

Introduction

The Biomek 2000 Laboratory Automation Workstation is designed to meet the needs of rapidly changing life science technology with simple, intelligent automation of liquid-handling tasks. Pipetting, diluting and dispensing operations are performed quickly, easily and automatically. The modular platform allows expansion of system capability to include plate heating and cooling, plate washing, high-density transfers, photometric measurement and high-capacity operation. The entire system is controlled by powerful and user-friendly Bio Works software, with an intuitive graphical interface.

Automation Features

The Biomek provides the following features which simplify and automate routine and repetitive laboratory operations:

• Automatically monitors and tracks pipette tip usage, both between and within runs
• Provides liquid level sensing (when an appropriate tool is used) to detect when the pipette tip is just touching the liquid during an aspiration
• Allows you to develop labware definitions for custom labware
• Allows you to edit the characteristics of the tool definitions to optimize for
different types of liquids

Location

The Biomek 2000 Laboratory Automation Workstation is located at the Prince William Campus in SRIF Lab 221of Discovery Hall Building.
