Beckman Coulter Biomek i5 Automated Liquid Handler with Span-8 Pipetting and Robotic Gripper

The Beckman Coulter Biomek i5 Liquid Handler Ref.B87578 is a versatile automated liquid handling workstation designed for high-precision pipetting and sample management in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and genomic research. Equipped with the Span-8 pipetting system, this model features eight 1000 µL syringe pumps enabling accurate single or multi-channel liquid transfers up to 1000 µL volume. The robotic gripper axis facilitates automated labware plate transfers across a customizable deck with 17 single and 2 triple deck positions.

Key system components include an Accuframe teaching tool for precise robotic calibration, a Microscan MS-3 barcode reader for sample tracking, and dedicated control software with a computer, monitor, keyboard, and mouse. This liquid handler utilizes a disposable tip system to minimize cross-contamination risks and supports integration with various accessories such as automated thermal cyclers, shaking and temperature-controlled positions, multichannel wash stations, and static and tip loader ALPs.

The Biomek i5 platform is widely adopted in next-generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation, PCR/qPCR setup, cell plating and compound screening, as well as genomic and proteomic workflows, making it critical for bioprocessing, synthetic biology, and molecular cloning applications. Its flexible deck layout and scalable automation capabilities enhance throughput and reproducibility, which are essential for biopharmaceutical production pipelines and clinical diagnostics.

Additional features include:

• Precise liquid handling with syringe-driven Span-8 arm for volumes up to 1000 µL
• Automated labware management via robotic gripper for efficient plate handling
• Barcode-enabled sample tracking to ensure data integrity and LIMS compatibility
• Customizable deck accommodating up to 19 positions for complex assay workflows
• Optional upgrades for thermal control, shaking modules, barcode scanners, and reagent handling
• Compact footprint suitable for maximizing limited laboratory bench space

This system supports comprehensive method and assay development consulting and can be tailored to specific biotechnology and molecular biology research demands. The instrument is fully serviced, calibrated, and covered by warranty options, ensuring reliable operation for demanding biomanufacturing and molecular diagnostics environments.
