We will continue to provide full service support to our Biomek NXP customers. This includes the consumables and supplies, service and maintenance, training, hardware accessories, device integrations, and software extensions that maximize the utilization of your existing instruments. One such example is the recently released Biomek 4.2 software that enables Windows® 10 functionality for Biomek NXP instruments.

Since the introduction of the Biomek 1000 over 30 years ago, Beckman Coulter has continued to innovate new automation solutions to accelerate scientific discoveries. The Biomek i-Series—with improved capacity, flexibility and usability—represents the latest step in this evolution. Most existing Biomek methods can be adapted to the new i-Series Workstations, and we’re confident you’ll benefit from the new platform enhancements if you choose to upgrade to an i-Series workstation, like the Biomek i5, the Biomek i7, or an integrated system.
