Automation Storage Options

• Hotel Racks

Hotel Racks are designed to store microplates for quick, at-will retrieval to load/unload media. Each Hotel Rack is compatible with various Docking Station and Carousel products.

• Sequential Stacks

Sequential Stacks are designed to store microplates for First-In-Last-Out (FILO) retrieval. Each Sequential Stack is compatible with various Docking Station and Carousel products.  Sequential Stacks are designed for quick retrieval to load/unload media and quickly return it back to assay.

• Docking Stations

Docking Stations are engineered to repeatedly capture and release any configuration of Hotel Rack or Sequential Stack. Docking Stations come with adjustable leveling feet and surface mount locations for easy install.  Push button release for easy storage device retrieval.  Docking Stations can be connected to other DSUs using the attached DSU Bracket to increase storage potential. Up to 10 DSUs can be connected.

• Carousels

The Carousel is an automated rotating microplate stack or hotel base, designed for laboratory applications. This allows a large number of stacks and/or hotels to be accessed by the robot arm.

• Accessories

Tek-Matic provides an extensive range of automation accessories required to complete a fully automated solution. These are designed to be integrated both with our range of laboratory robots and other universally used robotic systems.

KX-2 COLLABORATIVE ROBOT FEATURES

• Flexible

With 360° continuous rotation of the shoulder and wrist axes and a multi-link arm, the KX-2 offers extensive reach for effective use of the available space. The radial compactness of the KX-2 arm, combined with a wide reach, allows easy instrument accessibility and optimal instrument placement, leading to improved instrument density, easy serviceability and increased throughput.

• Easy to decontaminate

The KX-2 was developed with contamination minimization in mind. The sealed design is wipe-clean with no bug traps, making it well-suited for Biosafety Level 2 applications.

• High Safety

The KX-2 is ideal for use on an open bench as operator safety is assured – the KX-2 stops safely on human contact. The fully enclosed working mechanism ensures finger protection, making the robot fundamentally safe to use. The KX-2 is fully compliant with safety standards: ISO 10218–1:2011.

• Simple to set up and easy to use

The KX-2 can handle a wide range of labware from different types of plates to tip racks, tube racks, petri-dishes and T-flasks, making it the robot of choice for a variety of research applications, including synthetic biology, drug discovery and biotechnology. The counter-balanced arm of the KX-2 allows handling of full deep well plates at maximum extension for optimal use of the work envelope.

KX-2 LINEAR RAIL FEATURES

• High Speed

A maximum speed of 0.75 m/s allows the linear rail to move quickly from one end of a large system to the other, increasing efficiency.

• Quiet Operation

The helical planetary gearing and belt drive keeps audible noise to a minimum.

• Drag-to-Teach

Simply move the linear rail and robot to the correct position and with a touch of a button and the teaching is complete. Quick, simple, and revolutionary.

• Intelligent Motion Control

The linear rail and robot execute synchronized motion simultaneously. This improves efficiency and simplifies setup.

• Easy to Integrate

USB interface provides easy connection to host PC. Linear rail and KX2 can be added to existing systems, expanding capability and throughput.

• Standard I/O built-in

Digital and Analogue I/O available at the linear rail connector panel for interfacing and controlling other devices.

• Numerous Options

Every application is unique and with a wide selection of options including linear rail length and various KX2 robot options, the linear rail and robot can be tailored to your exact requirements.

Compatible With

MECA500-R3 System

The Meca500 is the world’s smallest, most compact and most precise six-axis industrial robot arm. It is about 330 mm with a weight of 4.5 kg and a payload of 0.5 kg. Unlike the typical industrial robot, which is a complex, stand-alone system that is to be programmed via proprietary programming language and interface, the Meca500 is controlled as an automation component, much like a smart electric gripper.

Innovation via state-of-the-art assays is crucial in reducing the time and cost to bring pharma and biotech drug candidates through R&D and to market. However, development of these assays can take months, thus contributing to a major part of the drug development bottleneck. Automating assays is the key to managing the throughput, expensive reagent cost, accuracy, sensitivity, safety, and efficacy requirements. Assay Robotics is a turnkey automated assay development service to help companies develop and implement assays to run on liquid handling robots. Our goal is to help companies free up their schedules to spend more time working on experiments, and much less time spent learning to program and run assays on robotic instrumentation.
