Analytik Biometra TRobot
Manufacturer: Analytik Jena Model: Biometra TRobot
The TRobot is designed to fulfill the special requirements for integration in an automized environment. Because space is very limited in robotic stations, the TRobot block has been separated from the external controller / power unit. Thanks to the motorized lid, no manual interaction is necessary.
