HighRes Biosolutions, Inc. is the leader in the design and construction of innovative robotic systems and laboratory devices used by pharmaceutical and biotech companies and academic research laboratories. We provide scientists with the building blocks for discovery. We accelerate research with highly flexible, expandable and modular integrated systems, bench-top devices, software and consumables that are easily configured (and reconfigured) to create research environments conducive to achieving breakthrough results.

Systems

MicroStar - the ultimate modular robotic system — enables you to build the most flexible and dynamic laboratory ever. MicroStar's simple yet ingenious design enables you to tailor your lab's capacity and processes to fit your research needs, allowing you to easily add, remove, and relocate material and devices — even repurpose systems, all on-demand.

NanoCell - offers all the flexibility and modularity of the High Res MicroStar, but does so over a very small footprint. Coupling an industrial grade robot with MicroDocks and MicroCarts, NanoCell is ideal for a wide range of applications including compound delivery, enzyme and cell-based screening and High Content Biology. NanoCell is a superlative solution for customers with lower budgets, space constraints or who are looking to supplement their existing HighRes robotic systems.

MicroCell Table - is the ultimate platform for building high performance, custom automated labs in an incredibly small footprint. MicroCell Table supports a wide range of research applications, from compound management, storage and replication to high-throughput screening. Opt for one or two articulated robotic arms in a compact system for your research processes and easily configure environmental controls.

Storage

MicroServe - is a high-density way to deliver plates and tips to your automated systems, handling up to 770 standard microtiter plates in a small footprint. MicroServe is efficient and compact for high-throughput applications. Plates stack one on top of the other in removable cartridges, so loading and unloading are easy. MicroServe works with most SBS footprint labware.

NanoServe - is a high-density way to deliver plates and tips to your automated systems, handling up to 220 standard microtiter plates in a small footprint. NanoServe is efficient and compact for high-throughput applications. Plates stack one on top of the other in removable stackers, so loading and unloading are easy. The stackers are compatible with MicroServe. NanoServe works with most SBS footprint labware.

AmbiStore - is a high-density random access way to deliver plates and tips to your automated systems, handling from 462 up to 924 standard microtiter plates in a small footprint. AmbiStore is efficient with 8 second storage/retrieval times for high-throughput applications.

SteriStore - is a high-density random access automated incubator handling from 462 up to 924 standard microtiter plates in a small footprint. SteriStore is efficient with 8 second storage/retrieval times for high-throughput applications. SteriStore sterilizes itself at 180’C for 3 hours and is one of the only automated incubators on the market that is self cleaning. SteriStore is insulated with Aerogel the lowest density solid known.

Instruments

MicroPin - is an integratable high-throughput device for transfer of low volumes of compound (5nL - 0.5?l) in DMSO to assay plates. MicroPin can be used stand-alone or with an automated system.

MicroPierce - is the smallest and most functional plate piercing instrument available. MicroPierce features online pin washing and multiple pierce heights, and can pierce deep or shallow well plates.

MicroBlast - is an integratable high-throughput device for cleaning labware with a deionizing blast of air. MicroBlast can even clean lidded plates; the instrument will automatically lift the lid and clean separately, then relid the plate. MicroBlast can be used stand-alone or with an automated system.

Software

Cellario™ - is a dynamic scheduling software package that controls HighRes Biosolutions’ MicroCell and MicroStar robotic systems. Cellario software is based on both resource allocation and events and can be customized to meet your needs. The software can run multiple experiments in parallel or in sequence and also features Gantt chart and fast-time simulations for detailed run analysis. Cellario is intuitive and easy-to-use. It interfaces well with your internal software both to generate orders and to trigger methods to be run, easily handling highly complex processes. The multithreading software allows for efficient cell operation and error handling, allowing a run to be recovered even if system power is lost.

Enclosures and Safety

HighRes Biosolutions robotic systems can be enclosed in ways that can meet a number of important objectives. Enclosures can be configured to protect materials – such as compounds and cells – from environmental exposure. They can also be designed to protect operators from the common routes of exposure to these materials. HighRes equipment provides a range of safety options to meet industrial standards.
