Automate with safeguards for both your samples and users

VERTICAL LAMINAR FLOW (VLF) CONFIGURATION

Protect your samples with vertical laminar flow and HEPA H14 filtration

Effectively protect your samples from exterior contaminations without
the hassle of having to adapt your lab infrastructure or source costly,
custom-made solutions requiring multi-step validations.

Don’t just take our word for it – this configuration has been tested by a trusted 3rd party. Read the Andrew+ VLF with HEPA Filtration Performance Sheet

RECIRCULATORY FILTRATION FUME CABINET (RFFC) CONFIGURATION

Protect users from harmful gases with a standalone airfiltration solution

This ductless enclosure ensures optimal user safety by effectively shielding them from harmful chemical substances without the complications of overhauling your laboratory infrastructure.

Avoid the stress and expense of sourcing custom-made solutions that would require extensive validations. Instead, streamline your operations by opting for an efficient, all in one solution that prioritizes user safety while being easy to position on any lab bench.

Don’t just take our word for it – this configuration has been tested by a trusted 3rd party. Read the Andrew+ RFFC with ABEK Filtration Performance Sheet

EXTERNAL DUCT ADAPTOR CONFIGURATION

Adapts to labs with an existing air-extraction infrastructure

Have an existing air extraction infrastructure with a duct and want to
easily connect benchtop automation to it?
This Andrew+ Pod configuration provides an effective solution for
protecting users from harmful chemical substances in a controlled,
automation-friendly environment.

FOR EVERY POD CONFIGURATION

Every interaction, perfectly protected.

Direct connectivity between the Andrew+ Pod and the Andrew+ robot ensures user safety at all times.

Physical access to the Andrew+ robot and the Domino bench is only granted when the instrument is not in motion. This ensures user safety in accordance with HS&E policies.

Need to interact with Andrew+ during a run?
Embed a user action step into your OneLab method or simply pause
your run with the onboard controls of the Pod. The Andrew+ Pod will
respond appropriately to your input.

The Pod is compact and made for Andrew+

Core Features: Included with every Pod.

Deeper waste. More tips. Less user intervention.

When connected to the Pod, the Andrew+ robot uses a large-capacity tip waste ideal for long automation runs.
After the Andrew+ robot finishes, solid waste
removal is easy due to it’s convenient position at
the front of the Pod.

Make cable clutter a thing of the past

With the Andrew+ Pod, you can effortlessly
organize and put away the cables & power bricks
needed for your devices (including the tubing
required for the Extraction+ Device) – making for a
clean and tidy automation workbench you’ll want to
show off.

Filters in, filters out. Easy.

Easily swap or replace the filters on the Pod to
maintain optimal air filtration capacity.
Need a new filter? Contact us.
Available filters:
• HEPA H14 Filter (SKU: 186011433)
• ABEK Filter (SKU: 186011435)
• Pre-Filter Replacement (SKU: 186011434)

Capture experimental conditions, validate results.

The Andrew+ Pod features sensors that gather
essential metadata to ensure experimental
conditions are met. This includes real-time
measurements of temperature, humidity,
atmospheric pressure, and VOC saturation. This
data is displayed via OneLab and stored in each
experiment record for future reference.

Minimalist, easy to use and intuitive.

Effortlessly control Andrew+ with the sleek three button panel to manage power, the motorized sash, fan speeds, and LED lighting. Synchronized colored
notifications provide instant status updates, making errors easy to spot.

Protect your samples, Protect your users

Andrew+ and the Andrew+ Pod are fully integrated
with each other and OneLab – making for a an all-in-one solution that streamlines the user experience.

The cherry on top? Waters can install and validate
this total automated solution in just 2 days. We
have you covered. Literally.

Extendable, future-proof & integrated

Interchangeable side panels:
Endless possibilities.

The Andrew+ Pod is designed to also enable complex workflows without compromising the core functions of the enclosure or Andrew+. Interchangeable side panels enable users to quickly and easily adapt their enclosed automation setup to external devices such as the Plate Sealer+ and Acquity HPLC through the Automation Portal for extended workflows.

Going beyond physical integrations…

With waters_connect and OneLab enabling fully integrated data acquisition, end-to-end automation has never been more complete.
The Pod seamlessly integrates into “sample-to-result” workflows using
OneLab’s API controls, enabling automations such as opening the motorized sash for integration with mobile robots or Cobots.

easy installation
