VERSA Automated Liquid Handling Workstation Specs

Aurora Biomed’s automated liquid handling workstations range in size from 30 kg to 150 kg. Each system is designed to maximize accuracy, precision and throughput while minimizing time and consumable costs. From 1 to 3 robotic arms, Aurora’s automated liquid handling workstations are made for any budget and any laboratory size. With only a single channel, the VERSA 100 liquid handling workstation provides the smallest footprint and is ideal for research settings carrying out low to medium throughput. The VERSA 1000 to 3000 each have 8 channels per arm and can support between 15 and 35 plates respectively. From low to high throughput Aurora has a solution to your automated liquid handling needs. With the exception of the VERSA 100, each of Aurora’s automated liquid handling workstations is capable of resolving a spatial distance of ±50 µm. The VERSA 100 liquid handling workstation can resolve a distance of ±100 µm.
