Andrew+
WatersAndrew+ is based upon 6 years of market feedback, and builds on the success of the Andrew Pipetting Robot. It now enables both fully automated pipetting, as well as the more complex manipulation and grabbing of microplates, tubes and columns, through an expanding range of Andrew+ Accessories. It can also execute protocols designed in OneLab, enabling you to quickly transition from laborious manual procedures to error-free, easily programmable fully-robot workflows.
