Standardize Your Short Workflows

• Compact Design: The A8 mini (L 665 mm x W 525 mm x H 610 mm) fits easily inside a biological safety cabinet, freeing up bench space while providing dual protection for both the operator and samples.
• Ultimate Flexibility: Supports tool-free, quick-swap of various pipetting and on-deck modules, enabling rapid adaptation to diverse experimental workflows.
• Easy Self-Installation: Users can complete setup and basic calibration independently, significantly reducing the lead time from delivery to operation.

A8 mini
Benchtop Automated Liquid Handling Workstation

The A8 mini is a compact, benchtop liquid handling workstation designed for labs with limited bench space. Based on one single arm, it offers over 10 configurations for unparalleled flexibility:

• Pipetting Modules: single-channel, dual-channel, flexible 4-channel, and fixed 8-channel
• Extended Module: Configurable with adaptive force gripper module
• Multi-Function Arm (MFA): Support the combined use of a fixed 8-channel pipetting module, flexible-channel pipetting modules, and extended modules

The workstation features 12 standard SBS-compatible deck slots and can integrate up to three functional modules simultaneously—such as temperature control modules (TCM), automated shaker modules (ASM), fluorescence readers, or other third-party devices. All multi-function arms and on-deck modules support tool-free quick swapping capability within 3 minutes.

Beyond high-precision pipetting, the A8 mini streamlines complex workflows including concentration normalization, clone picking, sample pooling, and various purification assays. Its modularity enables multi-application utility in one single workstation, making it an ideal choice for short workflows automation that demands flexibility, efficiency and a high return on investment.

Pipetting Head

• Pipetting Head features a unique modular deign along with pLLD and DPC functions providing a wide range of coverage form 1-1000 µL.
• Unique sealing design help extend head life time and reliability up to 300,000 times before needing replacements.

Pipetting Technology


Liquid Level Detection Precisely monitoring liquid surface height, ensuring the tip is properly immersed at the optimal depth. Continuous monitoring of any internal pressure changes within the pipette, to track aspiration status in real time. Suitable for microvolume pipetting, effectively preventing air aspiration or excessive tip insertion to guarantee volumetric accuracy.	Liquid Level Tracking Ensure the dispensing tip maintains a constant relative distance from the bottom of the container or liquid surface during dispensing to enhance volume accuracy and minimize dripping and splashing. Injecting liquid via the level-tracking mode prevents vortex formation, reduces impact on adherent cells, and prevents cell detachment or damage.	Asymmetric, Variable Span Each pipetting channel is controlled by an independent motor, enabling arbitrary non-uniform spacing movement. Suitable for complex scenarios: well picking and multi-plate operations.	Force-Feedback Technology Smart obstacle detection during liquid handling triggers real-time alerts, ensuring seamless experimental workflows with enhanced reliability.
