The Anatomy of an
Industrial Robotics Solution
Excellence in Liquid Handling
Whether you are pipetting milliliters,
microliters or nanoliters, the industrystandard
Biomek NXP , Biomek FXP ,
BioRAPTR FRD and PicoRAPTR
products deliver accuracy and
precision to your research.
Innovative Design
For easy access, the Biomek Laboratory
Automation Workstation is often mounted
outside the safety enclosure, allowing further
expansion through direct integrations. A plate
shuttle provides a swift connection between the
liquid handler deck and the Motoman's reach.
Flexible Labware Storage Options
Whatever your storage
and incubation needs,
Beckman Coulter has
the solution. In addition
to our own efficient
labware carousels, we
can include Cytomat
incubators from
Thermo Fisher
Scientific to protect
your precious samples.
Motoman HP3JC Robot
Available in either a compact
fixed (waist-based)
configuration or mounted on
a rail for maximum device
capacity, the robust
Motoman arm is at the
heart of the system.
Expanded Capabilities
Multiple liquid handlers may be part of your system. Shown here, a Biomek
NXP mounted inside the safety enclosure performs tube barcode reading
and tube-to-plate transfer operations via its Span-8 pod.

World-Class Detection
We’ve integrated Beckman Coulter’s DTX Series Multimode
Detectors and can integrate the exciting new PARADIGM
Detection Platform into our Industrial Robotic Solutions to
provide flexible, feature-packed, high-value options for result
detection. And if you have standardized on a particular reader,
we have experience integrating most available systems.
Application-Specific Integrations
We will work with you to understand the needs of your research and to
design a system with capabilities tailored to your laboratory needs. Drawing
from our extensive experience with hundreds of third-party peripherals, we
will arrange the system to work efficiently and be accessed easily.
Safety Enclosure
Every system ships with an enclosure designed
to provide easy access while promoting safe
operation.

Security Features
Ensure Safe System Operation
Safety Enclosure
Every industrial robot solution we provide incorporates a
safety enclosure specifically tailored to the hardware present
on the system.
Built in compliance with industrial standards (ANSI/RIA
R15.O6-1999), the safety enclosures serve a vital role in
protecting both operators and samples. Interlocked doors
prevent unsafe access to the system while it is in operation.
During runs, the system can be paused, unlocking the doors.
Ready for Any Emergency
In the event of a sudden need to stop the system, strategically
placed safety pendants allow the user to halt robot operations
immediately to prevent damage to equipment or samples. In
setup mode, the access door interlocks open to allow
convenient access to labware and equipment.

Easy Access
During runs, the system can be paused and the doors
unlocked to allow safe interaction with the equipment
inside.
Intelligent Door Placement
Because each system is purpose-designed, access
doors (full-length or table-mounted) are placed where
they can provide easiest access to devices such as
labware carousels and incubators or devices that need
frequent interaction.
Liquid handlers such as the Biomek FXP may be found
outside the safety enclosure and provide protection via
their built-in light curtains. Together, these features
make working with a Beckman Coulter Industrial
Robotic Solution a breeze.
Compliant with Local Standards
Industrial Robotic Solutions from Beckman Coulter, Inc.
are tested to be in compliance with regulatory agencies
worldwide.

SAMI Workstation EX:
Intelligent Software for Assay Automation
SAMI Workstation EX has been updated to support the Motoman robot, delivering
the traditional power of the standard SAMI Workstation EX alongside customized
features needed in an industrial setting
SAMI Workstation EX – Intelligent Automation Software
SAMI Workstation EX provides
a graphical interface that lets
scientists and technicians describe
complex assays in a straightforward, easyto-understand
manner.
• Draw the flow of plates through the assay
• Configure:
- Liquid transfer
- Incubation
- Detection
- Washing
• Specify resources
(i.e., fresh plates, tip boxes)
The software takes care of the rest –
intelligently handling plate movement.
Prevalidated Schedules and Data-Driven Dynamic Features
Powerful scheduler interleaves actions to increase throughput and
provide a prevalidated schedule:
• Know how long your assay will run
• Optimize resource utilization (i.e., labware, reagents)
Take advantage of information available to the assay during the run to
change the flow of samples through the method with:
• IF node for decision making
• Reschedule node for resource planning and schedule re-optimizing
• Data handling nodes for data-driven decisions

Tools to Manage Method Development
and Execution – Addressing 21 CFR Part 11
Complete control for lab supervisors with Beckman Coulter
Accounts and Permissions with Tools for 21 CFR Part 11
Compliance
• Logs of operator interactions
• Sensible method version tracking
• Ensured data quality and integrity
Help with Assay Execution
• Graphical reports describe labware positions and deck layout
• Graphical run-time interface shows your method progress
• Instant access to all labware information
• Device activity summary
Seamless Biomek Integration
• SAMI Workstation EX extends the Biomek software for
assays with incubations or timing constraints – giving
you simplified programming and better throughput by
interleaving operations
• SAMI Workstation EX uses the same labware and liquid
transfer techniques to build assays quickly and leverage
existing libraries of customer created knowledge
• Simply describe the aspects of liquid handling that are
important to your experiment with the new Transfer node

Efficient Transportation Options for
Maximum Productivity
Every laboratory has different needs. That's why Beckman Coulter will design a system solution engineered just for
you. Since labware transport is often a bottleneck in throughput, we will optimize your system by incorporating the
right components in the right places and connected by the right transportation – all driven and scheduled seamlessly
by one software package.
A robust industrial robot
capable of complex
motions forms the basis of
each system.
Beckman Coulter’s innovative
plate shuttle moves plates on
and off the Biomek
Laboratory Automation
Workstation deck . . . even
while Biomek methods are
running.
Conveyors deliver
labware directly to the
deck, allowing the
industrial robot to focus
on moving plates around
the system.
Most Biomeks have their own built-in
gripper system, which keeps labware
flowing smoothly for optimum productivity.
The BRT Robotic Transport is ideal for
expanding the capacity of any system by
leveraging the direct accessibility of
conveyor-based transport while keeping
the industrial robot busy with other tasks.
