Available
from Velocity11, a pioneer in automation technology solutions for
life science laboratories, BenchCel™ is a robust benchtop microplate
handling system that delivers the speed and precision of much larger
and more expensive automation platforms.

The
BenchCel system features a novel high-speed plate shuttle that accesses
the integrated microplate stacks and two peripheral instruments.
This customisable, modular design provides the flexibility and scalability
required to meet the needs of the most diverse laboratory environments.
Users can choose from 2, 4 or 6 stack instrument configurations,
and from four different sizes of removable racks with capacities
of 15 to 70 standard microplates. Adding to the BenchCel's versatility,
the delidding function removes and replaces microplate lids as necessary.
The
BenchCel is powered by the popular VWorks™ automation control software.
VWorks' icon-based protocol editor and straightforward user interface
simplifies walkup protocol creation and execution for benchtop systems..
Benefiting from an integrated labware database, most labware is
easily handled, including SBS standard footprint microplates, deep
well plates, tip boxes and tube racks. The BenchCel platform can
integrate with a wide range of peripheral instruments, including
all major Velocity11 products as well as various third party devices.
VWorks' powerful dynamic scheduler enables the integration of multiple
BenchCels to create sophisticated benchtop systems capable of automating
complex assays.
Velocity11's
customers comprise most of the major pharmaceutical and biotechnology
companies as well as leading genome centres and academic institutions.
