Beckman Coulter Biomek FXP

Listing description

Biomek FXP Laboratory Automation Workstation

The Biomek FXP is the latest entry in the Biomek line. With an up-to-date hardware design for greater positional accuracy and increased robustness, it can meet the needs of just about any application.
With its large deck capacity, the Biomek FXP sets the standard for flexible laboratory solutions to meet your changing needs. It puts every aspect of liquid handling – including pipetting, dilution, dispensing and integration – into a single, automated system that is as powerful and flexible as it is efficient. Combined with the proven Biomek Software and our ongoing applications development, Biomek FXP is bringing new possibilities to life.

Features

With the Biomek FXP, the Biomek is just the beginning. Its open architecture allows for integrations of readers, plate washers, labware storage devices and robotic transport systems. The gripper built into the multichannel pod provides fast and reliable labware movement around the deck, as well as the capability to de-lid and re-lid plates, create vacuum manifold assemblies and access integrated devices.

Scale up to a Biomek Assay Workstation

The Biomek FXP can serve as the central component in an assay workstation — a complete assay automation system including labware storage, incubation, plate washing, plate reading and other components. Powered by SAMI® Workstation EX software, the Biomek Assay Workstation is the system of choice for ELISAs, cell-based assays or any other process containing time-critical incubations. Assay Workstations are tightly integrated to maximize capacity and throughput in a small footprint.

Unified software platform across all Biomek instruments
With a single, consolidated user interface for all Biomek platforms, operator learning time is drastically reduced. Biomek Software also allows methods to be moved from one instrument platform to another, quickly and easily.

Intuitive Interface
The flexibility built into Biomek's user interface puts the full range of its power into the hands of any user. It provides the ability to customize the interface, import and export methods, use icon-driven Step Palettes to create and configure methods with drag-and-drop ease, define new deck layouts and labware to make changing configurations fast and easy, and much more. As a result, switching between applications such as MALDI spotting and gDNA purification is particularly easy. And new users get up-and-running faster than ever before.

Point-and-click Methods Development
The mouse-driven simplicity of our unique point-and-click programming avoids the long learning curve so common to other approaches. Alternatives such as pipetting techniques, liquid types and deck layouts can be chosen from drop-down lists. Method validation features will check your method and find any logical errors. The Estimated Time to Completion (ETC) feature will provide you with an accurate run time, enabling you to speed up methods development and efficiently plan your instrument use. Variables, worklists and "if-then" statements can be used to vary runs without reprogramming. All of which makes a wide variety of applications — from plasmid purification to hit-picking — extraordinarily efficient and streamlined.

Screening Solutions
The Biomek FXP is the right instrument for screening — both primary and secondary — as well as all your replication and reformatting tasks in between. Choose a preconfigured Biomek FXP solution with validated or verified methods, or outfit a system tailored exactly for your unique needs. With an array of Beckman Coulter peripherals and ALPs from which to choose, plus a library of third-party integrations available, the Biomek FXP will deliver solid performance in your assay.

Sample Preparation
The need for increased throughput for molecular techniques — particularly DNA/RNA purification methods — has led to a number of purification protocols on automated platforms. These automated methods, however, must generate high quality results in order to be used by downstream applications such as sequencing, PCR and transfection. The Biomek FXP provides a complete portfolio of nucleic acid sample preparation solutions for DNA and RNA with the magnetic bead-based Agencourt® SPRI® technology.
