The Bee12 has been designed with the low throughput laboratory in mind, and uses the same well-proven components derived from the successful BeeBlot instrument.

The Bee12 is fully programmable using the user friendly windows based software, allowing the user to custom-build their assay protocols. Once the assay has been programmed, it can be uploaded from the PC to run from the instrument’s integral keypad. Up to 12 different assays can be stored and selected for use. A reagent save feature can be included into any assay to reverse the pumps, saving valuable reagents.
