Basic Concept
The patent pending Vertical Robot (VertiBot) Concept allows labware to
be stacked in 3D on individually actuated shelves rather than spread
out over a large 2D platform. The shelves provide X-Axis motion
of various racks, trays, or plates while a separate robotic arm
provides Y and Z-Axis motion for an end-effector.
Small Footprint
With a foot print of less than 20 inches by 20 inches you save valuable
bench space. You can save even more space if you select the
integrated touch screen that allows the system to run without a
connection to and external computer.
Adaptability
and Flexibility
The basic VertiBot system size can be easily adapted to accommodate man
labware and ancillary devices such as heaters, balances, ph
meters. The system can also be fully enclosed and vented or left
open for easy access. Wider shelves are optional.
The VertiBot is designed to be an extremely space efficient and
cost-effective robotic platform that addresses many laboratory robotic
applications. OEM's can have the system configured to include a
wide range of ancillary options to meet their specific needs.
Some
examples are:
- Up to 4 probes for general
fluid transfer
- Variable pitch probes that
allows use of 9 and 18 mm pitch labware
- Plate gripper for moving
labware
- Test tube gripper
- Analytical Balance for test
tube weighing
- pH Detector
- Spectrophotometer Detector
- Bar Code Reader
- Micro plate Shakers or
Heaters
- Fluid Probe Wash Station
- Magnetic bead Separator
