BioRobotics MicroGrid
A High Throughput Automated Microarrayer
With its innovative platform design, the MicroGrid offers the best of both worlds; large capacity and a small footprint. Easy to upgrade and fully customizable, this unique instrument can quickly and economically adapt to the changing needs of your laboratory.
The MicroGrid is designed for high throughput sample handling with the ability to work from 96, 384 or 1536 well microplates. Up to 24 microplates at a time can be accommodated in the BioBank loading cartridge and a maximum of 10 BioBanks (240 microplates) may be programmed into a single run.
The MicroGrid can be used to create everything from microarrays of DNA product on glass slides to macroarrays of bacterial colonies. Other accessories provide added functionality such as the management of bacterial libraries through replication and re-arraying.
Accomplish all of this utilizing easy-to-use robotic technology that lets you concentrate on the results of your experiments rather than dwelling on the methodology.
