About us

How we pack

Green handlers

They want to ensure all motion axes have been calibrated and tested for repeatability, accuracy, and backlash under load, preventing misalignment, sample crashes, or missed pickup events.

They want peace of mind knowing the system has been functionally tested with sample racks and verified under simulated workflow conditions.

They want to confirm that the absolute encoders have been calibrated to guarantee high-precision positioning and repeatable motion control, eliminating drift that can cause plate misalignment or dropped samples.

They want to ensure full system initialization and self-checks confirm every axis and safety interlock is operational, preventing unexpected crashes or motion faults during live sample handling.

They want to know that the boards have been tested for firmware issues and, if necessary, repaired before purchasing and installing them in their lab.

They want peace of mind, knowing their instrument is backed by a warranty from a company that can stand behind it.
