The next-generation pipetting technology enhances
reproducibility and simplifies complex and time-consuming manual
workflows
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/
-- Based on its recent analysis of the North American
pipetting robot market for life sciences, Frost & Sullivan
recognizes Andrew Alliance, a Waters
Company, with the 2020 North American Product Leadership Award.
Andrew Alliance's liquid handling
robot, Andrew+, integrates robotic mechanisms with conventional
laboratory pipettes to improve the repeatability of liquid
handling. These easy-to-use robots and connected devices allow
scientists and laboratory technicians to achieve repeatability,
performance, and efficiency in their experiments. Andrew Alliance is one of the few companies
worldwide to manufacture its products in an eco-friendly
environment and use carbon-neutral electrical power.
The different components of the Andrew+ pipetting robot, such as
single- and multi-channel pipettes, a stand, and the cloud-based
proprietary software OneLab, can communicate and share data with
each other. Although competing products can communicate with their
components as well, the communication must be performed using a
wired framework, and the software is restricted to a private
server. The Andrew+, on the other hand, can communicate with its
electronic stand wirelessly using Bluetooth, and the stand is
connected to the cloud using Wi-Fi or Ethernet, thereby helping the
user remotely access the data related to the analysis performed by
Andrew+ to ensure both traceability and repeatability.
"Andrew+ pipetting robot not only automates the liquid handling
process but also gives users complete control over the workflow
through the OneLab software platform. While its competitors offer
pipettes with built-in software that can share only a set of
pre-established protocols, the OneLab software lets Andrew+'s users
design and share their own protocols," said Rohit
Karthikeyan Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "OneLab
is freely available and hosted on the cloud, which gives users the
flexibility to handle the robot from any personal computer or
tablet."
Andrew Alliance ensures that
users of its Andrew+ pipetting robot and OneLab software are always
connected to its technical support experts, underscoring its focus
on product reliability. In addition, the company guarantees top
data quality and security of the OneLab software by making the
protocols accessible only through secure user identification and
access control. Andrew Alliance's
simplicity helps lab technicians with no knowledge of programming
benefit from lab automation in the comfort of their homes, which is
a vital advantage in the current era of remote working.
"Andrew Alliance, with its
integrated portfolio of hardware and intuitive software, enables
pharmaceutical companies to accelerate their R&D processes. It
has designed its Andrew+ pipetting robot as a lightweight and
affordable solution capable of integrating a wide range of
products, such as Shaker+, Peltier+, and Magnet+, using the
cloud-based OneLab platform," noted Karthikeyan. "A pioneer in the
development of an open, connected lab ecosystem of the future,
Andrew Alliance is a valuable
pipetting automation partner to labs, especially during the
COVID-19 pandemic."
Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the
company that has developed a product with innovative features and
functionality that is gaining rapid market acceptance. The award
recognizes the quality of the solution and the customer value
enhancements it enables.
Frost & Sullivan Best Practices Awards recognize companies
in a variety of regional and global markets for demonstrating
outstanding achievement and superior performance in areas such as
leadership, technological innovation, customer service, and
strategic product development. Industry analysts compare market
participants and measure performance through in-depth interviews,
analyses, and extensive secondary research to identify best
practices in the industry.
