Product overviewVitae 60 is a compact automated workstation for PCR preparation and general liquid handling. Designed for constrained environments such as temporary laboratories, mobile inspection vehicles and limited bench space, it supports routine PCR set-up, cell‑based assays and other liquid handling workflows. The system accepts third‑party consumables including centrifuge tubes, reagent vials, 96/384 SBS plates and deep‑well plates, reducing adapter constraints and improving process consistency.
