VERSA 600 IonFlux Setup Workstation
The VERSATM 600 IonFlux Setup Workstation is a small, automated liquid handling workstation designed to automatically set up IonFlux Plates for the Fluxion’s IonFlux Automated Patch Clamp System. This bench-top integrated workstation provides an efficient, high throughput solution for fully-automated patch clamping.
The VERSA IonFlux Setup Workstation conserves expensive reagents, eliminates concerns associated with volumetric variations caused by manual handling and automates all repetitive pipetting protocols. In addition, the software offers researchers the flexibility of customizing their own ion channel protocols.
As the traditional bottlenecks associated with sequencing set up are relaxed, new demands are placed on sample preparation to replenish sequencing project pipelines. However, the labour-intensive and error-prone steps needed for this task make it difficult to produce large numbers of libraries.
Researchers at Aurora recognize that automation of this manual process maximizes the benefits offered by next generation sequencing (NGS), and thus have developed the VERSA Next Generation Library Prep (NGLP) Workstation. The VERSA NGLP Workstation for next generation sequencing library prep allows researchers to automate protocols involving DNA isolation, enzyme reaction setup and magnetic bead-based DNA fragment size selection. The VERSA Next Generation Library Prep Workstation is compatible with various commercially available kits and reagents, allowing researchers to reduce costs associated with library preparation. By providing accurate liquid handling, robust temperature control and consistent reliability, the VERSA Next Generation Library Prep Workstation ensures users get the most out of expensive samples and reagents.

About the IonFlux
By integrating microfluidic perfusion with standard well plates, Fluxion has produced automated electrophysiology systems that look and operate much like a benchtop microplate reader. The IonFlux systems have made patch clamping simpler, faster and better than ever before.
The IonFlux comes in two configurations to meet the widest variety of application needs. The IonFlux HT, featuring 64 independent amplifier channels, is designed for high throughput screening of ion channel targets. The IonFlux 16 is ideally suited for ion channel research and assay development. Both systems offer cell ensemble recording to improve reliability and variability.
