FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 18, 2005. Velocity-11 has introduced the BioCel 1200, the company's newest automated sample processing platform. The next level in compact and affordable automation Velocity-11 (www.velocity11.com) has introduced the BioCel 1200, the company's newest automated sample processing platform. With a footprint of just 2 metres by 1.2 metres, the BioCel 1200 is the most compact system on the market that is capable of automating a wide range of applications, spanning from compound plate replication and HTS assays in drug discovery research to nucleic acid sample preparation in genomics laboratories.
The BioCel 1200 is the latest addition to the industry-leading BioCel family of automation platforms offering unprecedented compactness, flexibility, expandability, speed and affordability. The unique design of the BioCel 1200 utilises the reliable high-speed central robot found in the popular BioCel 1600, with the new capability of robotic reach outside of the system frame. This feature, combined with the use of space-saving sliding doors, permits the flexibility to easily integrate large readers, compound stores or other devices into the system. The new design also enables future expandability by combining multiple units with plug-and-play simplicity. The BioCel 1200 is operated with the proven Velocity-11 VWorks™ automation control software. Its outstanding dynamic scheduling capabilities and innovative error recover technology are just some of the reasons why VWorks is fast becoming a standard for controlling a wide range of automation systems at the world's leading pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. Pre-introduction orders for the BioCel 1200 system have been taken and the first unit is being installed this month to a major European pharmaceutical company. Velocity-11, recently ranked 146 among the 2004 Inc. 500 list, is privately held and focused on pioneering automation technology solutions for life science laboratories.
