TheOnyx

TheOnyx is a liquid handling robotic platform for automatic sample processing and support of various biological & biochemical applications for genomics, proteomics and cell biology.

Molecular Biology with TheOnyx

The TheOnyx Liquid Handling Station is a highly modular and flexible system for the automation of molecular biological applications with a wide range of applications in both research and development and daily lab routine.

The configuration of the application platform is exchangeable and provides freedom and flexibility for the experimental workflow.

New modules and devices are easy to implement by the user. Thus the change to new kits and applications is easy to arrange without any service calls.

Advantages of the system:

• High flexibility with lab kits and methods
• Easy implementation of new research methods
• A long lifetime and low service effort
• Modular design for individual configuration
• Addition of extensional modules at any time
• Progressive combination of cell culture, cell pulping and automated sample processing
• GLP conform documentation and sample data management

The Concept

• Flexible Liquid Performance
• 4 or 8 Pipetting head
• Independent disposable Tips, washable needles or a combination of both
• Innovative micro annular gear pumps (no syringes)
• Independent LLD for each needle / tip
• Short distance between pumps and tips for a better fluidics control

Sophisticated Platform

• Plug and play design
• Open architecture
• Integration of external devices

Worktable Extensions

• Centrifuge, Microplate Reader & Washer, Plate Sealer, Thermocycler, Incubator, Vacuum Filtration, Magnetic Bead Technology, Gel Loading and more

As a downstream combination with the CellCelector it is most useful for cell biology assays, compound screening and high throughput analysis.
