Ways to use the Bravo Platform
The Bravo Platform can be used in the following ways:
• As a single device controlled by a computer
• Integrated with other devices in a lab automation system
For example, when used as a single device, it can be placed in a laminar flow hood for
use with cell-based applications or handling potentially hazardous materials.
As an integrated device in a lab automation system, it can be used to prepare
microplates for high-throughput screening or other automated process. Note that
when used with other devices, you can take advantage of the gripper feature to
automate microplate pickup and placement.
