Benefits for low throughput laboratories at Medica 2005
Again this year, fast-growing British bio-tech company are expanding their product range to enable smaller throughput laboratories to speed up their assay protocols.
Bee Robotics Ltd, based at their headquarters in Wales, will next week (16th – 19th November Hall 3, Stand F65) launch a new addition to the family of automated robotic instruments in Dusseldorf, at Europe’s largest medical supplies trade exhibition. Visit us to trial the prototype Bee 20.
Following a successful launch of the prototype Bee12 at Medica last year Bee Robotics’ Managing Director, Steve Jones said: “Several instruments have been placed in the field following a successful launch of the Bee 12 at Medica last year. Additionally this year we have added to our product range the Bee 20 which offers automated washing and hybridisation steps of strip-based assays.“
The Bee20 has been designed with the small throughput laboratory in mind and uses the same well-proven components derived from the successful BeeBlot instrument. It speeds up the analysis of DNA testing for strip based assays. Adding to Bee Robotics Ltd’s fully automated Bee Blot, its semi-automated Baby Bee machines, the Autocam48, has been developed to ease the process of interpretation of strips for laboratories. A prototype Bee20 will be exhibited at Dusseldorf at the Medica trade exhibition next week with a view to be going into full production during the first quarter of next year.
Steve Jones, Managing Director of Bee Robotics Ltd said: “Since our presence at Medica we have seen considerable growth in our global customer base and expanded our product range. Equally important is the increased distributor base globally which enhances our presence in our main markets. We have developed the new Bee20 as a response to a high demand by our present customers for a small throughput instrument for strip-based assays. The Bee20 is fully programmable from user-friendly windows-based software where the operator can custom-build their assay protocols.”

Bee20 - Prototype launch at Medica, Dusseldorf November 2005
- The Bee20 has been designed with the small throughput laboratory in mind, and uses the same well-proven components derived from the successful BeeBlot instrument. Product highlights include:
Easy walk-away system
Reagent pre-heating option
Reagent save feature
Fully Programmable
Integral cooling fan
Reusable trays
- The Bee12 is fully programmable from user-friendly windows-based software, where the operator can custom-build their assay protocols. Once the assay has been programed using the software, the assay parameters can be uploaded from the PC to run from the instrument using the integral keypad.
