Andrew+ pipetting robot offers fully automated liquid handling using electronic pipettes and labware holders called Dominos. By adding Device+, our ever-expanding portfolio of connected devices and tools for processes such as heating, shaking or labware transportation, Andrew+ evolves into a full walk-away automation solution.
Creating the connected laboratory, Andrew+ is part of the OneLab ecosystem, executing laboratory protocols designed in OneLab. This flexible architecture enables you to effortlessly transition from laborious manual pipetting procedures to error-free, fully-robotized lab workflows – without any knowledge of programming, laboratory robotics or automation engineering.

Andrew+ pipetting robot uses single and multichannel electronic pipettes, ensuring the best liquid handling performance and maximum flexibility. Smart electronic pipettes are manufactured by Sartorius and based upon their acclaimed Picus pipettes.
Electronic pipettes are optimized for used with the Andrew+ pipetting robot, allowing greater flexibility in the type of liquid handling experiments that can be run, providing superior experiment reproducibility, pipetting speed and a market leading dynamic range of dispensing volumes for a liquid handing robot –from 0.2 µL up to 10 mL.
Waters Andrew+ pipetting robot.jpgThe liquid handling robot is designed to fit the majority of laboratory benches and biosafety cabinets (BSC). Andrew+, even with 2 full rows of Dominos (allowing to use 7 microplates or 56 falcon tubes or 168 microtubes) occupies a depth of ~55cm/22”, that fits even the smallest hoods. The unique compact size and design of our liquid handler allows it to work at a temperature of 20°C-37°C.

Specifically optimized for Andrew+, various applications and methods guarantee the delivery of better pipetting accuracy and improved reproducibility.
Laboratory automation eliminates most human errors resulting in more reliable data and improved productivity. Together with complete integration inside OneLab, all experimental data from Andrew+ will be recorded and stored, improving the traceability of experiments and the data analysis.
Andrew+ combines the flexibility of single channel pipetting (0.2 μL to 10 mL) with the higher throughput of multichannel pipetting. In addition, Andrew+ reduces the need to repeat experiments due to pipetting errors.
Pipetting requires repetitive movements (of up to 500 times per day for the average user) that can lead to musculo-skeletal disorders like repetitive strain injury. Andrew+ helps eliminates physical stress to professionals, and also reduces the risk of exposure to hazardous materials used in certain experimental procedures.
