The VERSA 1100 provides a complete walk-away solution for most genomics workflows including PCR/qPCR setup, DNA/RNA purifications, and next generation sequencing library prep to name a few

Features include a complete walk-away solution for all genomics workflows, air displacement pipetting for maximum accuracy and reproducibility, 8-channel head that supports diverse labwares including 384-well plates and carousel PCR adapters and a magnetic bead vortexer that improves consistency between batches. Additional benefits include supporting the use of diverse 3rd party kits, precise temperature control for on-deck incubations, pptional HEPA/UV enclosure that protects sensitive samples, ability to prep anywhere between 1-96 NGS libraries per batch, easy to use drag-and-drop user interface and the ability to allow easy creation of custom protocols.

Configurations include 8-channel head with single channel function, up to 8 Reagent Drop channels, integrated plate gripper, up to 4 temperature controlled positions for on-deck incubations, on-deck shaker, magnetic bead vortexer, magnetic separation device, reagent cooler block, optional shaker-magnet elevator (recommended) and optional HEPA/UV hood (recommended).

The VERSA 1100 GENE utilizes Aurora’s highly accurate, 8 channel air displacement liquid handling module with single channel functionality to give diverse functionality for supporting processes such as normalization, hit picking, and reagent or sample pooling and provides highest consistency and reproducibility. The open-deck design allows the use of third party lab-wares and reagents to let researchers leverage the wide array of kits and chemistries currently available for DNA preparation and NGS library preps.
