Next-Generation Liquid Handling Platform Meets Evolving Workflow Priorities
Beckman Coulter Life Sciences introduced Biomek i-Series Automated Workstations at the 2017 international conference of the Society for Laboratory Automation and Screening.
“Beckman Coulter Life Sciences is renewing its commitment to innovation, our partners and our customers with the introduction of the Biomek i-Series Automated Workstations,” said Demaris Mills, Vice President and General Manager, Beckman Coulter Life Sciences. “The platform is specifically designed to enable continuous innovation to help our customers meet the ever-changing demands of life science research by delivering improved levels of simplicity, efficiency, adaptability and reliability.”
Extending the Biomek portfolio of automated liquid handlers, the i-Series enables a broader range of solutions for genomics, pharmaceutical, and academic customers. It takes the best of what has already made Biomek an industry-leading brand, combined with additions and enhancements directly inspired by customer input from around the world. The company carried out a worldwide dialogue with customers to identify both the overall direction for future product innovation as well as pinpointing key priorities.
“The challenge of being able to handle evolving workflow priorities, and walk away with confidence knowing that remote access would make 24-hour monitoring, from any location, a reality, were identified as crucial factors,” Mills pointed out.
Additional notable features and accessories include: exterior status light bar simplifies your ability to monitor progress and system status during operation; biomek light curtain provides a key safety feature during operation and method development; internal LED light improves visibility during manual intervention and method start-up, reducing user error; off-set, rotating gripper optimises access to high-density decks leading to more efficient workflows; large-volume, 1 mL multichannel pipetting head streamlines sample transfers and enables more efficient mixing steps; spacious, open-platform design offers access from all sides, making it easy to integrate adjacent-to-deck, and off-deck processing elements (such as analytical devices, external storage/incubation units, and labware feeders); built-in tower cameras enable live broadcasting and on-error video capture to expedite response time if intervention is needed; Windows 10-compatible Biomek i-Series software provides the most sophisticated pipetting techniques available including automatic volume-splitting, and can interface with third-party and all other Biomek support software.
The Biomek i-Series Automated Workstations are available in two decks sizes and various pipetting configurations.

Automation of Particle Size Measurement Series Ensures Simple Operation and Short Analysis Times
The Laser Particle Sizer ANALYSETTE 22 from Fritsch ensures precise determination of particle size distributions in an extremely wide measuring range of 0.01 – 2100 µm, across production and quality control as well as in research and development. Users benefit from definite advantages: extremely simple operation and short analysis times for consistently reproducible and reliable results.
The practical AutoSampler provides automatic sample feeding as a simple attachment for the wet dispersion unit of the ANALYSETTE 22. It works completely independently, right from the start and has 26 positions for 40 ml standard containers. Thanks to the tilt function and programmable rinsing function with a strong spray jet, reliable sample feeding is guaranteed. The software automatically assigns the position and measuring result. All function sequences, such as the dispersion and measurement duration, can be specified for each position separately and can be saved a SOP standard list and a practical Home button for automatically returning to position 1.
The Fritsch AutoSampler can simply be placed on top of the wet dispersion unit and is immediately ready for use. And, after use, removing it is just as easy, simply lift it off.
For most samples wet dispersion represents the ideal method for perfect dispersion. Therefore the samples are feed into a closed liquid circulation system. An integrated and freely programmable ultrasonic emitter ensures fast and extremely efficient degradation of the agglomerates, precisely adapted to each sample. Due to the integrated water connection, the wet dispersion unit can be automatically cleaned and refilled with new, clean liquid after each measurement. And is quickly ready again for the next measurement.
