Thermo Vision Colorado's specialty is liquid handling automation. We offer two lines of XYZ robotic systems to choose from, the Automation Stations, for ultimate capability, and the Prep Stations, for reliable, low cost solutions. Each of our liquid handling systems incorporates our Universal Device Platform that accommodates all microplates and test tube racks individually or in mixed combinations. This gives you the ultimate in automation flexibility now, and as your needs change.

Our and robotic systems increase throughput in laboratories involved in:

• Titration
• Molecular biology
• Immunoassay testing
• Environmental testing
• High throughput screening (HTS)
• pH and other probe measurements
• Combinatorial and clinical chemistry
• Quality assurance and quality control

The and robotic systems automate more and more analytical procedures. Some of the tasks they perform today include:

• Pooling
• Diluting
• Extracting
• Collecting
• Dispensing
• Transferring
• Reformatting
• Serial-dilution
• Cherry picking
• Reagent addition
• Fraction collecting
• Inventory dispensing
• Autosampling from vials
• Autosampling from bottles
• Autosampling from beakers
• Autosampling from test tubes
• Autosampling from microplates

Optionally, the and stations can be configured with:

• Septa-piercing
• Multiple probes
• Disposable pipette tip systems

The Automation Stations represent our most advanced series of liquid handling systems. The Automation Stations were developed with input from our customers about the directions laboratory liquid handling automation is and will be taking. The Automation Stations are engineered to be reliable, flexible, modular, fast, and precise.

Prep Stations are ideal if you need a low cost and reliable XYZ robotic system. The has been continuously updated and refined as our customers' requirements evolved. The new Prep Stations incorporate Vista software and the Universal Device Platform. We have thousands of Prep Stations operating in the field.

Our Vista software builds both ease-of-use and flexibility into our and liquid handling systems. Vista software is application focused and uses a Windows® based Graphical User Interface (GUI) that employs ordinary commands such as "Select" and "Drag-and-Drop". Device control, workspace population, and robotic motion control are conveniently managed with this user-friendly software. The user strings together the steps for an application, gives it a name and saves it for use and reference. No programming expertise is required and the use of cryptic programming languages and complicated command files is eliminated.
