Lab Automation Docking Stations
Our one-of-a-kind docks elevate flexibility and modularity. Docks unite a base platform with functional elements like Nucleus carts and other docking-enabled HighRes hardware.
One-of-a-Kind Mobility
The space saving MicroDock offers a fixed docking length for integration into Nucleus automated frameworks.
Extended Variability
The compact X-Dock features eleven variable docking length positions in 50 mm increments to reach anywhere in a Nucleus automated framework.
Effortless Management
Power docks 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.
Enhance Device Utilization
Using MicroDock or X-Dock, devices may be easily shared across Nucleus work cells to reduce the need for additional expenditures that take up valuable lab space.
MicroDock and X-Dock
With fixed and variable length dock models, you can enjoy boundless freedom from your automated work cells.
Integrated or Standalone Operation
Docked devices may be quickly moved offline for manual use and maintenance without disturbing the overall automated workflow.

Let’s Start Your Automation Journey
Easily! Guide tracks on dockable hardware, including FlexCarts, align with MicroDock guideposts. When aligned, externally mounted locating pins will create a positive stop to indicate proper positioning. The MicroDock is then activated by depressing the food switch. Power, gas, and communications will then flow between the MicroDock and devices on the dockable hardware.
Easily! With the MicroDock in the actuated or up position, depress the foot switch once to retract the connection slides and decouple the MicroDock and dockable hardware. The hardware may then be safely wheeled away from the MicroDock.
