Scale up your experiments without scaling up your budget or taking up valuable lab space! The VERSA 10 provides a versatile 6 position deck all in a footprint under 3 ft². Utilizing air displacement pipetting technology, the system can handle volumes as low as 1µL. The 8 channel head with single channel functionality provides flexibility to prepare anywhere between 1 to 96 samples.

Automation should adapt to you. You shouldn’t have to adapt to your automation. The single channel liquid handler with precise XYZ targeting allows the use of specialized plate types (carousel, collection tubes, cartridges, etc) not compatible with other workstations. Utilizing dual pump pipetting module, the system can handle a broader range of volumes between 30nL to 1000µL. The VERSA 110 ensures that the only differences in your protocol will be increased throughput and precision.

VERSA Liquid Liquid Extraction (LLE) workstations offer the most flexibility and throughput among all other liquid handlers utilizing our innovative modules. Conductive Liquid Level Sensing detects phase boundary and ensures precision and reproducibility. The ReagentDrop dispenses organic solutions and other reagents without using tips. The combination of Shaker-Heater, Nitrogen Dryer and Gripper enables complete walk-away solution for any LLE protocols. The VERSA LLE workstations are compatible with various commercial labware, and are highly scalable for different throughput and budget requirements.

Laboratories face continuously increasing workloads and decreasing resources necessitating implementation of automated ELISA alternatives. Whether your lab works with indirect, sandwich or competitive assays, ELISA protocols involve an exhausting number of dispensing, washing and incubation steps. Manual procedures are prone to variability, contamination and are time consuming, resulting in high cost-overruns and erroneous data. Aurora has developed the robust, walk-away ELISA workstation to handle these labour-intensive protocols.

As the health effects of environmental contamination are better understood, regulations become more stringent for persistent environmental organic contaminants in water and processed or unprocessed foods. Environmental agencies and the food processing industry are hard-pressed to detect and measure contaminations in water, soil, and food samples; screening for diverse contaminants manually over a large number of samples is cumbersome and error prone, automation is necessary to efficiently aliquot samples and carry out high throughput repetitive liquid handling protocols.

Manually filling vials with reagents is a tedious, time consuming and error prone process making it difficult to effectively meet the high throughput needs requested by most reagent companies using common manual filling techniques. The VERSA 110 Vial Filling workstation is an automated liquid handling workstation designed to meet these or exceed these requirements.
