Bee12 -  Prototype launch at Medica, Dusseldorf November 2004

• The Bee12 has been designed with the small throughput laboratory in mind, and uses the same well-proven components derived from the successful BeeBlot instrument.
• 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.
• Up to 12 different assay protocols can be stored and selected for use via the integral keypad.  A reagent save feature can be included into any assay, to reverse the pumps saving valuable reagents.
