The RBA's compact design, advanced safety features and intuitive operation represent the future of lab productivity. The system delivers precision and consistency over a wide range of lab tasks and empowers teams to automate repetitive processes, enhance safety and accelerate discovery. Astech’s robotic assistant can be operated using software with Blockley, or via Labexpert, and its pick and place capabilities include interaction with other local equipment e.g. liquid handlers. Sitting within the footprint of a standard benchtop, the system is run off a standard plug with all electricals contained within the base unit.
Key features:
- Compact footprint - Fits easily onto standard workbenches, and can be quickly redeployed across workflows.
- Collaborative safety - Built-in sensors and force-limiting technology ensures compliant, guard-free operation in shared human spaces.
- Plug-and-play setup - Hassle-free installation and deployment with minimal integration effort.
- Intuitive programming - No coding required, all skill levels can program workflows.
