Waters Tools- a quick brief:
- Creating the connected laboratory, Andrew+ is part of the OneLab ecosystem, executing laboratory protocols designed in OneLab.
- This flexible architecture enables you to effortlessly transition from laborious manual pipetting procedures to error-free, fully-robotized lab engineering.
The Future of Advanced Research and Laboratory Solutions
The research field has evolved in recent years with the advancement of technologies in automation. The demand for precision, reproducibility, and efficiency in laboratory procedures has never been greater.
Advancements across the biology and chemistry fields have been met with the greater need for advanced tools laboratory solutions.
What are the challenges facing modern laboratories?
Most modern laboratories face similar problems, issues such as handling large amounts of complex data, staff fatigue and the increased need for complex protocols.
While some laboratory environments still rely heavily on manual methods, which are often filled with human errors, more and more labs are moving away from manual in place of automation.
Top #3 issues facing modern labs:
- Staff fatigue through manual pipetting
- Data management
- Reliability of results
We are in a scientific era which places precision and integrity as non-negotiable, the need for reliable automation solutions that can deliver consistent, high-quality results has never been more crucial.
Your Laboratory’s Most Valuable Partner
The Andrew+ pipetting robot offers fully automated liquid handling using electronic pipettes and labware holders called Dominos. By integrating state-of-the-art technology, the robotic system provides researchers with tools that automate and streamline repetitive laboratory tasks.
Andrew+ Pipetting Robot – Precision through Automation
Pipetting remains an integral task in most laboratories, and it’s usually done manually, pipetting is often laden with errors due to human fatigue and inconsistencies in workflows and measurement. The Andrew+ robot is a fully automated solution that allows for precise pipetting and provides a fully integrated solution for your laboratory.
The system itself is built with advanced algorithms and a seamless interface, the Andrew+ robot can manage complex pipetting protocols with ease.
OneLab – Design & Execute Laboratory Protocols
Définissez votre protocole de laboratoire dans OneLab grâce à une interface graphique intuitive de conception basée sur des glisser-déposer. Par exemple, pour effectuer une opération de manipulation de liquide, ajoutez les consommables et les échantillons requis sur la paillasse virtuelle, puis faites glisser la pipette de la source à la destination comme vous le feriez sur une vraie paillasse.
Avec OneLab, vous pourrez ajouter des étapes de chauffe, d'agitation ou de centrifugation, etc. Et ce, depuis n'importe quel ordinateur ou tablette que vous avez à portée de main.
Pipette+ – Smart Electronic Pipettes
Le système Pipette+ comprend des pipettes électroniques intelligentes connectées via Bluetooth à un support de charge, lequel intègre un ordinateur relié à
À chaque étape du protocole pendant l’exécution de l’expérience, le système Pipette+ traite les instructions OneLab pour définir les paramètres requis sur les pipettes à utiliser. Cela évite à l’utilisateur de manipuler les réglages des pipettes, ce qui est particulièrement difficile lorsque l’on travaille avec des gants et sous une hotte.
Par exemple, OneLab ajuste automatiquement les volumes d’aspiration, de distribution et de mélange, ainsi que l’éjection des pointes, selon vos besoins.
