Thermo Scientific Versette 6 Automated Liquid Handling Robot for Precise Pipetting

The Thermo Scientific Versette 6 is an automated liquid handling robot designed for high-precision pipetting and sample preparation workflows in biotechnology, molecular biology, and clinical diagnostics. Featuring 96- or 384-channel capacity and variable volume ranges from 0.5 to 300 µL according to the pipetting head, it supports automation of complex liquid handling tasks with minimal user intervention.

Key technical specifications include:

• Volume increments as low as 0.1 µL for granular dispensing control
• High precision for the 96-channel head at 0.5–30 µL volumes with ±2% or 0.15 µL precision
• Accuracy for 96-channel head at 0.5–30 µL with ±1.5% or 0.10 µL
• Compatibility with 96- and 384-well plates of various heights and storage tubes ranging from 0.5 to 1.4 mL in racks
• Connectivity via RS-232 and USB interfaces
• Supports operation on Windows XP, Vista, 7, and 10
• Includes a Versette pump unit with three interchangeable pipetting heads for flexibility in throughput and volume ranges
• Operating voltage spans 100–240V, 50/60Hz

Its compact footprint (68 x 68 x 55 cm) and moderate weight (54.4 kg) make it suitable for benchtop placement in busy laboratories. This system is widely adopted in biotechnology research, synthetic biology workflows, molecular diagnostics, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines where reproducible small-volume pipetting is critical.

Overall, the Thermo Scientific Versette 6 is an essential automated liquid handling solution that enables improved efficiency and reproducibility in bioprocessing, gene editing preparation, and live-cell assay setups by automating repetitive sample handling tasks with high accuracy. It is a valuable tool for laboratories aiming to enhance throughput in molecular cloning, fluorescence analysis, and biomedical engineering applications.
