Expand your potential, add the Varispan™ Gripper.

Stop wasting time and resources on inflexible liquid handling platforms. The new Varispan Gripper is now available on Fontus™ and JANUS™ G3* workstations as a simple add-on option to your existing Revvity liquid handler to adapt to your evolving needs.

The instruments’ intuitive design and software let you make quick, easy adjustments to your protocols, keeping your research on track and your budget in check.

Varispan Gripper enables cost- and time-savings for your application developments with:

  • Enhanced labware movement automation
  • Walkaway time increase
  • Protocol expansion
  • Deck space optimization
