Beckman Coulter Biomek NXp Automated Liquid Handling Workstation
Successful Software Communication & Plate Movement
After connecting the NXp to the Biomek software, we performed the following tests:
- NXp initializes and communicates with Biomek software: PASSED
- Home all of the motors: PASSED
- Prime syringe pumps: PASSED
- Aspirate/dispense fluids: PASSED
- Load/unload tips: PASSED
- Lift/move microplates: PASSED
- Create/edit/remove programs: PASSED
