PCR Application Ready Work Cell
Gain meticulous performance in PCR workflows with ELEMENTS PCR. Each modular, automated PCR system includes integrated devices on our Nucleus FlexCart and an editable template or user-scripted protocols to ease PCR, genomics, and NGS workflows.
Essential Overview
Vertically Integrate Devices
Our FlexCart empowers vertical integration of several PCR relevant workflow devices in the overall work cell. Each device is accessible by the mounted ACell collaborative robotic arm to save space in any laboratory.
Flexibility Your Way
ELEMENTS PCR includes a carefully curated blend of devices from HighRes and industry renowned manufacturers. Have a preferred device or brand? The system is designed to accommodate a range of alternate device choices that will function optimally in context of your automated PCR or NGS library prep workflows.
Simple Modularity
ELEMENTS PCR protocols can change as quickly as your workflow needs evolve. At the same time, devices may be rapidly and easily added or removed from the work cell.
Effortless Management
Power ELEMENTS PCR through Cellario whole lab workflow automation software. In addition to smooth workflow scheduling and walkaway convenience, full Cellario control ensures that all devices in your network are optimally configured and managed.
White Glove Treatment
HighRes lab automation experts and authorized technicians devote great attention to the service and maintenance of your impeccable HighRes products. By doing so, you can be sure that your vital automated workflow progresses with little to no downtime.
Features
Device and Workflow Customization
In addition to using your preferred PCR and next-generation sequencing library prep devices, ELEMENTS PCR protocols and operating conditions are parameterized for easy user workflow customization.
Wide-Ranging and Mobile Utility
ELEMENTS PCR is outfitted to suit an extensive range of PCR, genomics, and NGS library prep workflows while taking up a very small lab footprint. On top of this, FlexCart uses smooth glide wheels for easy maneuvering to extend functionality in other lab or facility areas.
Integrated or Standalone Operation
Devices in the ELEMENTS PCR work cell may be quickly moved offline for manual use and maintenance without disturbing the overall automated workflow.
