Integration
Acumen eX3 may be easily integrated with a whole range of different robotic systems ranging from simple stacking robots through to complete plate preparation solutions.
Example robotic integrations include:
- CRS Cat-5 (Thermo Fisher)
- Kalypsys
- RapidStak (Thermo Fisher)
- SWAP (Hamilton)
- Twister I (Caliper)
- Twister II (Caliper)
Acumen eX3 also has an optional fluorescence microscope and software attachment called ‘Locator’, which assists researchers in the validation of early stage assay development data and if required, provide post-scan result confirmation. Locator’s software automatically links the well image from the Acumen eX3 software with the same well on the microscope. This is particularly useful for high-density 1536 well plates, where individual wells are almost impossible to reference by eye. Locator can be supplied with a recommended fluorescence microscope or fitted to a compatible microscope supplied by the customer.
