Lab Automation Equipment

NEXUS operates two fully integrated high-end lab automation systems. The system for cell-based and biochemical assays is designed for high-throughput screening campaigns related to chemical hit identification, genome editing and RNA interference.
The automation system for preparatory and routine work is used for nucleic acid purification, high-throughput PCR pipetting, sub-library preparation, library management, or user-defined applications.
