Can I set up FlexPod myself?

Yes! With its pre-configured drivers and full device setup instructions, FlexPod is designed to offer plug-and-play convenience to users of any skill level. Even novice users can be up and running in minutes.

Can the robotic arm location be moved?

While the robotic arm generally comes bolted to the center of the pod base, it may be offset to one side for additional aisle clearance. This, however, limits the on-deck devices that can be accommodated. Please contact your HighRes sales representative to determine which robotic arm configuration is best for your needs.

What on-deck device options are available?

A PlateOrient, barcode scanner, and two labware stackers are included with your FlexPod. Consider adding additional labware stackers or a LidValet, depending on your needs.

Is a PC computer included with FlexPod?

Yes! FlexPod includes a pre-configured Cellario PC laptop within a convenient pull-out drawer. An external monitor can also be installed via the FlexPod connection panel, or users can access the FlexPod laptop remotely.

How many devices can I integrate?

The number of devices that can be integrated depends upon the physical lab setup, device type, and device communication requirements. However, 3-5 devices tend to be incorporated with FlexPod.

Does the FlexPod provide power to integrated devices?

No. The FlexPod only powers its own on-deck devices. Third party devices require their own independent power and gas supplies.

What does the FlexPod documentation package include?

The FlexPod documentation package includes:

Facilities and shipping information
Robotic arm reach and setup specifications (both provided before unit delivery)
Configuration sheet (packing slip)
Complete user manual

The user manual contains information on:

Unpacking and setting up the FlexPod
Networking and third-party device integration
Remote PC and Cellario PC configuration
Unit leveling and robotic arm teaching
Protocol development, testing and operation
Cleaning and maintenance
Troubleshooting

Does FlexPod move autonomously?

No. The base of the FlexPod must be positioned manually. However, this process is made easy with drop-down caster feet and direct access leveling bolts.
