TCell

Table-Based Automation

HighRes' TCell is raising the bar for table-based laboratory automation. It has the most advanced lab robot, the greatest instrument access, the most compact design, and is driven by the industry's best software. TCell is available in a variety of table sizes and with a variety of robots to accommodate your processes.

Enclosure Options

TCell protects both lab personnel and assays with a variety of enclosure options. BSL2, HEPA filtration, laminar flow, temperature and humidity control, LightSmart smart glass darkening panels, positive or negative pressure...HighRes can provide virtually any combination of environmental controls your research requires.

Vertical-Slide Access Doors

TCell's access doors slide down out of the way, not out into your lab aisles and walkways. That gives you safer and more compact access to your system and allows for easier offline usage of integrated devices.

Three-Axis Device Platforms

Unique three-axis device platforms provide easier and better instrument access than any other table system. To access an instrument for manual use or service, simply rotate or slide the platform into its convenient manual access position. When finished, slide the platform back into its automated position and it's ready for a run. A precise locking mechanism means no re-teaching is required, and sensors ensure the robot will only access a device if its platform is locked into place.

Best-in-Class Software

Run it all with Cellario, the most powerful and flexible scheduling software available. The software has been optimized so that virtually any lab technician is able to run the most complicated process, simply and reproducibly.

Under-Table Storage

Locating all your plate storage on the table top can result in a crowded system with not much on it besides plate storage. TCell's under-table storage design makes it more compact and more functional than any other table system.

Add HighRes Modularity with MicroDock

For the ultimate in flexibility, add a MicroDock to TCell. Then you can swap out readers, incubators, pipettors, or any other devices you'd like to add and remove from the system on a regular basis.

Configurations Summary

We call TCell the most advanced table-based laboratory automation system for many reasons. In addition to the under-table storage, the vertical-slide access doors, the three-axis device platforms, and the advanced Cromium Cr2 robot, TCell was designed with flexibility in mind. Depending on how much capacity, storage, throughput, and flexibility you need, HighRes can build TCell in a wide variety of configurations.

  • 2x under-table storage
  • Footprint: 68 x 90"

OPTION 2- TCELL WITH DOCKING

Add one or two MicroDock docking stations for modular addition of readers, pipettors, or anything else you'd like to be able to replace quickly and easily.
  • 1x Cromium robot
  • 2x under-table storage
  • Up to 2x MicroDocks
  • Footprint: 98 x 90"

OPTION 3- TCELL WITH SECOND BOW MODULE

A second bow module gives your system extra table space to accommodate more devices.
  • 1x Cromium robot
  • 2x under-table storage
  • Footprint: 94 x 90"

OPTION 4- TCELL WITH LARGE PIPETTOR

Add a large-deck pipettor to your system with the pipettor module. Store reagents, wash fluid, and waste under the deck.
  • 1x Cromium robot
  • 2x under-table storage
  • Footprint: 102 x 90"

OPTION 5- DUAL TCELL

Dual TCells work together to double your capacity, storage, and throughput.
