This is Qiagen's flagship Biorobot 9604, optimized for clinical work and blood extractions. It is being decommissioned now, working well and presently being crated.
Simply put, if you buy this instrument, you will be ready to extract DNA/RNA/Plasmids, carry out typical pipetting operations. IT isn't a high-thruput as the 8000, but the configuration is very friendly for users. And the results are of very high quality- this is a serious instrument.
Excellent, qualified disposable liquid-sensing aerosol tips are available through Monster Laboratories, as well as a comprehensive array of microplates and labware in tubes, 96 or 384-well microplate format.
