Great liquid handler.
Liquid handling for sample sendout
Learning the scripts at first was a little complicated but once a script is written and validated, it truly is a walkaway instrument. It transferred over 25000 samples with almost 0 variation on liquid levels, it’s very accurate.

Excellent purchase and time-saver
Liquid automation for amino acid analysis
We just got our automated liquid handler for amino acid analysis in a pharmaceutical company outside of philadelphia and it has allowed for an increase in number of samples and an efficient workflow. We are extremely happy with our purchase and recommend it for others.

Finally satisfied with the results.
Library production for NGS utilizing NEB chemistries
There is a very steep learning curve, but once you've accomplished that the instrument works well. It took us almost a year to produce our first library. One of the problems (not Beckman's) is that NEB continues to change their protocols and it is very difficult to reprogram volume changes (Beckman's problem) the way the software works. It's similar to using HTML code rather than being able to simply make changes in the software available to the end user. These types of changes have to be done by the Beckman field rep and they are reluctant to pass along that information.

Cell, Dye And Compound Dispensing
The software needs some work to be more user friendly. Low volumes can be challenging and sometimes tips do not connect properly - so take care on the tip choice and the tip head alignment is critical.
