Prime Automated Liquid Handling

Relentlessly different. Laboratory Automation from a new perspective.

Key Design Elements

At HighRes, our Prime objective is to unite powerful laboratory automation technologies and high performing features to propel your next scientific breakthrough.

Experience the competitive edge that these key design elements bring to your workflow.

Mobile & Modular Laboratory Automation For Those Who Value Innovative Design

Automated workstations with a vertical perspective

Conserve your valuable lab space with the ultra-compact vertical orientation of Prime.

Automated ‘systems’ approach unleashes massive workflow productivity

Free yourself from the drudge of pipetting and sample processing manually or using conventional, semi-automated liquid handlers. Instead, equip yourself with Prime’s dynamic deck, interchangeable pipettors, and collaborative robotic arms. Easily surround yourself with a bespoke multi-tool automated laboratory system – expanding your off-deck workflow is a breeze with Prime.

Process automation on the move

Unconstrained by proximity, Prime’s easy-glide wheels bring automation efficiency to you. Move Prime around the lab as a standalone pipetting device or easily integrate it in your personalized HighRes laboratory automation ecosystem.

Exclusive MicroDock™ craftsmanship

Stand out from the rest by leveraging Nucleus® MicroDock automation architecture, which features a simple foot pedal to instantly connect power, data, and utilities, to take Prime from a standalone reagent dispenser to the hub of an automated liquid handling ecosystem.

Innovation That Drives Productivity

As the first lab in France to work with Prime, we were attracted to the liquid handler’s compact vertical design, integrated labware management carousel, and ease of use with other devices. HighRes Biosolutions was a reliable and effective partner, enabling us to develop the Galapagos Compound Management Lab and our related screening programs significantly.

Automation Bounded By Scientific Curiosity, Not Deck Size

Robotic workstations reshape space to expand your possibilities/strong>

Scale your Prime as needed and configure your workspace with a wide variety of tools to achieve your perfect trinity of performance, time savings, and cost-efficiency.

Liquid dispensing with a dynamic deck design

With bold yet functional style, Prime removes time-consuming consumable loading bottlenecks and boosts rapid liquid handling performance. This feat is achieved via two independent and dynamic trays that move in parallel between the labware loading and pipetting positions.

Convenient automated underdeck carousel takes labware management and access to the next level

Nestled under the liquid handling deck is a spacious carousel with both random and non-random labware access and barcode scanning built in. In addition to enabling ample storage and a more compact deck, this feature increases walk-away time so you can attend to higher value tasks or take a well-deserved break.

Automated workflow strength in collaboration

Prime’s high-end collaborative robotic arm allows you to reach into the system while it performs on its own and in concert with other devices. It can also continuously replenish labware as needed, even while the pipetting robot is dispensing liquid or swapping heads, further minimizing unproductive downtime.

Pipetting Technology Powerhouse Conveys Its Strength Through Trueness, Precision, And Accuracy

Liquid handling maxim: multiple heads are better than one

Push the limits of your innovation–and your plate densities–with up to four interchangeable pipette heads. Each is masterfully designed to reach all deck positions and tuck away securely when not in use.

384 Multi-Channel
Independent Z-8 Channel

Experience more by switching

Achieve celebrity status by expanding your production and assay range. Quickly, easily change out the interchangeable pipette heads for a massive volume range. Rapidly compress or expand between plate types or replicate within a single plate density. And use Prime to cherry pick wells to your heart’s content.

Legendary 1536 strength

Prime slots impressively into production workflows with 1536-well pipetting. No loud clipping, just robust and repeatable performance time and time again.

Savor the walkaway lifestyle

Batch or continuous parallel processing, it’s your preference. Either way, Prime takes care of tedious repetitive tasks–and does so with high precision and accuracy–so that you are free to apply your specialized expertise elsewhere. Simply program and walk away.

Automate Labware Access For Extreme Production Agility

Pipetting robot service space shaped for outstanding performance

Maximize convenience and walkaway time with the high capacity, underdeck-mounted carousel; with storage space for up to 580 plates, random and non-random access, and barcode scanning.

Automation all access pass

Expand the limits of what’s possible with 360 degrees of access to the Prime deck and service carousel. Every pipetting head accesses every deck position, and an onboard collaborative robot can serve off-line devices and storage.

Process workflow safety infused in every interaction

A safe user is a productive user. Prime’s operation is paused when Prime’s front and side gantry/pipettor doors are opened. The lower door opening pauses Prime’s operation when the carousel or on- and off-deck transport arm are operating. Both measures work to prevent accidents that impede productivity.
