High-throughput liquid handling
Qiagen's BioRobot 8000 is optimised for high-throughput liquid-handling tasks such as reaction setup, sample normalisation, and plate replication
Several worktable options are available to fulfill the liquid-handling needs of many high-throughput applications All liquid-handling configurations are equipped with an eight-probe pipetting system using disposable tips, washable steel probes, or a combination of both

Worktable configurations include the cooling and heating system and high-speed dispensing system as optional extras.
Precision robotic handling allows fast high-throughput processing in 96- and 384-well formats.
All worktable options are designed to give maximum space for plate storage and manipulation, giving higher throughput capacity for walkaway processing.
Up to 27 microplate positions are available on the worktable, giving a maximum functional storage capacity of 144 microplates.
High onboard storage capacity allows BioRobot 8000 liquid-handling configurations to be used as stand-alone high-throughput liquid-handling systems, and makes possible unattended overnight processing.
QIAsoft, the BioRobot Operating System software, is compatible with most high-level scheduling applications.
Integration of the BioRobot 8000 liquid-handling configuration with other BioRobot systems such as the BioRobot RapidPlate, and into existing automation lines, provides optimized workflow and can increase the efficiency of purification workstations.
Operating unattended, BioRobot 8000 liquid-handling configured workstations are capable of replicating over 100 microplates per nine-hour working day.
The liquid-handling configuration of the BioRobot 8000 is a cost-effective solution for high-throughput users whose samples require dilution, replication, rearray, or reaction setup.
