TECAN GENESIS

This is a liquid handling robotics platform kindly donated to us by Alan Sawyer of Paratropes/Jackson Lab. It was primarily used in monoclonal antibody production but can be used for any kind of high throughput assay and development work possibly in non biotech type applications too. There is also the potential to adapt it further with other manipulators to make use of the arms 3 axis of motion and relatively large platform working area.

Here's the front of the robot:

and a look at the side panel:

The top control panel has an RS232 DB25 port plus a few CANbus DB9 ports:

The lower panel has a few other control ports of a different format, I need to lean more about these:

Next step is to read the manuals, installing software on a spare system (apparently needs to be Windows NT/2000 :( lol) and seeing if it will run.
