As automation becomes increasingly common, robotic solutions aim to streamline workflows
Lab consumables distributor Diaago has partnered with lab equipment supplier Peak Analysis & Automation (PAA) to support the growing need for automatic solutions in the laboratory.
"As the demand for walk-away systems grows, there is a clear need for reliable automation in loading and unloading instrumentation,” said PAA senior medical science liaison Dr Helen Bennett.
The aim of the partnership is to provide laboratories with flexible robotic laboratory solutions that streamline workflows.
The first solution offered through the collaboration is the KX-2 collaborative robot, which features 360° rotation, multi-link arm, and optional linear rail. Through these features, the robot provides flexible reach and instrument access while ensuring operator safety and easy decontamination, even in BSL-2 environments.
"We are confident that the KX2 robot, delivered through diaago, will unlock new value for a wide range of laboratories by making fully automated solutions more accessible and impactful,” said Bennett.
Drag-to-teach programming allows laboratories to automate workflows quickly without the need for complex coding. The KX-2 is compatible with platforms such as the SPL Guard Arizona and Florida thawing stations, AFYS3G Sigma recapper series, Micronic CS700 screw cap recapper and Micronic DR rack scanners.
