Hermes All-In-One Platfrom
Comprehensive Solutions, Compact Size
Imaging system + Plates stacker + Plates loader
The customer-inspired Hermes-All-In-One system establishes a new standard for simplicity and compactness in completely automated, image-based experimentation.
Designed, manufactured and supported by IDEA Bio-Medical, the Hermes All-In-One consists of a 20-plates stacker integrated to a manipulator arm for fully automated sample loading onto the Hermes high content imaging system. The entire setup sits on a mobile, compact cart with <2m2 footprint.
In designing our new Hermes All-In-One automated system, we aimed to empower labs to utilize existing infrastructure to expand their capabilities while minimizing the amount of valuable lab space occupied.
With push-button programming the system autonomously:
Stacks multi-well plates in a built-in plate stacker which accommodates up to 20 plates
Loads & unloads plates for microscopy imaging
Acquires high quality images on the WiScan® Hermes automated high content screening system
Analyzes acquired images using WiSoft® Athena automated image analysis software
Produces presentation-ready results display using multiple visualization tools (scatter plots, histograms, heat maps, time graphs, dose curves, etc.)
The primary purpose of the Hermes All-in-one system is to facilitate the high-throughput screening of multi-well plates, a task fundamental to various research and development activities in the life sciences. By automating the process of stacking, loading, and unloading up to 20 multi-well plates, the system significantly reduces manual handling and minimizes the risk of error, thereby increasing the productivity of research operations.
System layout includes the following units:
- Hermes microscope (automated cell imaging system)
- Stacker for 20 multi-well plates
- Manipulator arm for plates loading/un-loading
- Dedicated unified cart integrating all units in a single workstation
Overall dimensions / footprint of the system in fully open configuration:
Standard work mode: W x D x H: 1080 x 1060 x 1670 mm
Technician access mode: W x D x H: 1853 x 1417 x 1670 mm
