Bravo - Overview + Features

Bravo™ . Overview + Features

The Bravo™ Liquid Handling Platform is the fastest and most versatile small footprint liquid handling system available. Its space-saving nine plate-position footprint can fit inside a standard laminar flow hood, enabling automated liquid handling for cell-based assays or hazardous reagent handling. The Bravo utilizes the proven high-accuracy pipette heads of the VPrep™ pipettor for dispensing from 100 nl to 200 ul in 96, 384, and 1536 well formats or to a single column or row of any of these plate types.  The deck is easily customized to meet a wide range of assays, with numerous plate pad options. Additionally, the unique, highly open design of the Bravo platform permits access from all sides for simple integration with other devices and unencumbered standalone use.

The platform is designed for high reliability and durability, performing consistently while providing the same speed and control that Velocity11 systems are known for. The Bravo platform is powered by the proven Velocity11 VWorks™ automation control software whose outstanding event driven scheduler, easy-to-use interface and innovative error recover technology allows complete control that is easy for all levels of operators.
