The CRS Mini DM Workstation is a scalable and reliable automation platform for automating ELISA and other biochemical assays. Modular design allows the system to expand easily by adding or swapping instruments and storage as assay and throughput requirements change. The workstation features distributed motion technology, combining CRS Flip™ Movers, CRS Vertical Array Loader (CRS VAL™), CRS Linear Plate Transport (CRS LPT™) and CRS POLARA™ scheduling software. The new CRS VAL allows vertical integration so that the third dimension can be utilized to optimize overall system size and throughput.
