Versatility

The hallmark of the CAS-1200 is its versatility—there are very few tube formats or pipetting operations that are not supported and more are added all the time. The single channel pipetting head design enables transfer from any location on the deck to any other.

So in addition to PCR setup, the CAS-1200 can perform a wide range of other tasks. For example, transfer of liquid samples from one tube format to another, plate replication, restriction digest setup, serial dilutions, cherry picking from archived sample banks, etc. This makes the CAS-1200 useful for many tasks in the modern molecular laboratory.

Larger Projects

Some applications require a robot with a larger deck capacity than the standard CAS-1200, and a larger version is now available—the CAS-4200™. The CAS-4200 is identical in functionality and options to a CAS-1200 but with deck locations for 15 microplates plus one combined mastermix/ reagent plate.
