925 and 940 Workstations are engineered to increase
throughput while decreasing the complexity that is normally
associated with laboratory automation.

The workstation head can be configured with up to five
tools, including single- and 96-channel pipettors with
grippers to move tubes, plates, tip boxes and other
devices around the deck.
In addition to pipetting, plate gripping and moving
capabilities, the workstations can easily integrate
other laboratory equipment such as balances, mixers,
vortexers and vacuum blocks. This gives you the ability
to automate a full range of liquid handling and sample
preparation steps on a single workstation.
Cat. No. GA-16101925 (925), GA-16101926 (925 without
tools or deck elements), GA-16101940 (940), GA-16101941
(940 without tools or deck elements)
Features:
- Flexible, customizable deck design accommodates
virtually any liquid handling or sampling protocol
- Multiple-function X/Y/Z robot holds up to five tools
(1-, 8-, 96-channel pipettors and gripper) to allow
immediate access to multiple tools on the same head;
no need to drop off or pick up tools, saving time
and increasing efficiency
- Disposable tips and fixed probes allow user-determined,
on-the-fly switchover between fixed probes or disposable
tips
- Ability to process vials and microplates on the
same deck allows for flexibility in the choice of
methods and applications
- Ability to integrate third-party accessories and
devices provides application flexibility with the
use of accessories such as the Bio-Tek® Plate
Washer and Molecular Devices Plate Reader
