SAMPLE MOVEMENT
Peak Efficiency

ACell and ZCell collaborative robotic arms adeptly and swiftly move samples around the automated workflow, even when operators are present. Operators are protected from harm while samples are protected from risk of manual manipulation variabilities.

TIME-SAVING FLEXIBILITY
MicroDock Compatibility

Add a MicroDock to elevate mobile flexibility and modularity to any automated workflow. This unique docking station allows almost instant device swapping without having to reteach positions or connect utilities. 

icon-blue-67
SAFETY FIRST
Auto Shut Down

Upon impact, the collaborative robotic arm shuts down to minimize or eliminate the need for safety shielding. This enables full accessibility while minimizing the overall automated system footprint.

MOUNTING EASE
Robotic Arm Mount Options

Unite your robotic arm with a FlexCart or cart for high device density and mobility, or to a compact and stationary central pod base or a FlexPod for agility. Use an automated rail base platform for complex, multi-step workflows or to unite multiple automated work cells.

FAQs

How often must a robotic arm be taught? add remove

The robotic arm is taught all device interaction locations in the work cell upon setup and does not need to be taught unless there is a crash or the system and/or devices are put into a new configuration. 

Can robotic arms be positioned manually? add remove

Yes! The robotic arms may be unlocked for manual positioning and parking. 

Can we use regular microplates to teach arms? add remove

No. Points will not be accurate when teaching an arm with a regular plate. HighRes offers a specially designed “golden plate” to teach the ACell and ZCell robotic arms.
