Biomek NGeniuS Features

Error Reduction

Biomek NGeniuS dynamic deckoptix camera A9875

  • Dynamic DeckOptix uses sophisticated optical analytics to give you real-time feedback on labware placement, while providing software confirmation upon correct placement to virtually eliminate loading errors
  • Reagent Identification System uses advanced optical character recognition technology for reagent confirmation and error detection before one drop of your valuable reagent is used

Minimal Hands-on Time

Biomek NGeniuS complete deck with labware A9865

  • Reagent Management System combines an innovative input carousel with temperature-controlled reagent storage zones minimizing unnecessary pipetting steps while limiting reagent exposure to external environment
  • Standard on-deck thermocycler reduces hands-on time for NGS protocols
  • Gripper for transporting labware on deck extends walkaway times and provides front-to-back protocol processing
  • Selective Tip Type pipetting head handles both 96 and 384 configured tips without tools or head swap-out
