Description
A robotics platform, this custom-made flexible and versatile high-throughput molecular and on-line screening platform comprises the following modules and components:
- PerkinElmer (now Revvity) explorerTM G3 workstation iX20 module configured with:
- - Control PC running plate::worksTM scheduling and control software
- - Plate::handlerTM Flex 750 EXT collaborative SCARA robot
- - With servo gripper on 1m linear axis rail
- - 4‐position lid handler
- - Barcode reader
- - Monitor/keyboard arm
- - iX20 TRESPA instrument tables with integrated LED status lights
- - iX20 system enclosure with HEPA filter
- PerkinElmer JANUS G3 standard 8‐tip and rail gripper liquid handler
- - With 2x Inheco CPAC Ultraflat HT 2‐TEC (4‐110°C)
- PerkinElmer PlateStak
- PerkinElmer EnSight multimode plate reader
- - With monochromator (Absorbance/Fluorescence)
- - Fluorescence bottom module
- KBiosystems K63 colony picker
- - With tray hive, HEPA filter and UV sterilization lamp
- KBiosystems WASP sealer
- Biometra TRobot 96 thermal cycler
- Agilent Vspin centrifuge
- 8x Inheco Incubator Shaker MP (ambient +5K to 80°C, shaking 400‐1800 rpm)
- 3x PerkinElmer 21 position plate shelfs tall
- This workstation is complemented with the already available Molecular Devices QPix® colony picker in the department of Biotechnology (BW25).
- In addition, to ensure sterile handling, the workstations will be made aseptic, and an autoclave and a laminar flow will be made available to users.
