Independent Liquid Handling Equipment Modules The major technological innovation of VERSA liquid handling equipment is in its precision dispensing (nL to mL range). The liquid handling components, which control all pipetting operations, consist of the following modules:
	ReagentDrop This dispense-only module is capable of delivering as many as eight separate reagents through independent reagent reservoirs. The ReagentDrop delivers fast and reliable bulk dispensing of liquids in the range of 1µL to 1000µL. NanoPipettor Offering efficient aspirating and dispensing functions ranging between 30nL and 350µL, the NanoPipettor module is ideal for generating parallel dilution series and performing array printing. SyringePipettor Three different syringe sizes, 25µL, 250µL and 1000µL, afford the SyringePipettor unparalleled volume range, making it ideal for multi-step applications.

Combination Liquid Handling Equipment Modules
	With VERSA liquid handling equipment, the modules listed above can be combined in many configurations to perform more sophisticated liquid handling procedures. For example: DualHead, combining a Nanopipettor and ReagentDrop module for efficient nL dispensing and reagent addition, simplifies dilution protocols. TripleHead, combining a SyringePipettor with two ReagentDrop modules, is a powerful tool for many liquid-handling protocols involving multiple reagent additions as well as sample handling.

Each of the workstations within the VERSA Series of liquid handling equipment has different options and customizable functions. See below for a table listing which customization options are currently available for each workstation.

Single Channel Pump Syringe

Liquid Handling Equipment

Single-channel syringe pump module: controls the aspiration and dispensation of liquids in the 1-20ul and 20-1000ul ranges from the single channel head.

8 Channel Syringe Pump

Liquid Handling Equipment

The 8-channel syringe pump module controls the aspiration and dispensation of liquids in the range of 20-200ul.

Shaker

Controls 96-well plate agitation in the range of 100-2000 rpm in both clockwise and counter-clockwise directions for specified periods of time.

Temperature Regulating Block

The Temperature Regulating Block controls the block/plate at a specified temperature ranging from 1˚C up to 80˚C.

Magnetic Bead Separator

The Magnetic Bead Separator is a 96-well format adapter that is used to separate beads used during nucleic acid isolation protocols.

Plate Transport

Plate Mover

The Plate Mover is used to move plates from one deck position to the adjacent deck position on the platform along a linear path.
