VERSA automated PCR Setup workstations replace repetitive pipetting for any type of PCR setup protocols to highly accurate and contamination free liquid handling. VERSA series offers ultimate flexibility while being compatible with many PCR and qPCR formats including 96- or 384-well plates, LightCycler carousel, Rotor-Gene rings, and AmpliSlide. VERSA’s Gripper and Transporter enable more flexibility in tailoring different protocols unlike slider systems that allow limited plate movement between two neighboring decks. Scientists benefit from increased throughput, reproducibility and walk-away time.

We have relied on the Versa 1100 PCR for over two years as a key component to the development of innovative solutions for industrial water processes. The accurate and versatile liquid handling instrument is complemented by a responsive and resourceful customer service team to ensure our results can keep our customers operating at peak performance.
