HiG integration

Integrate HiG into your automated workflow.

Bring automated centrifugation to your existing liquid handler or compatible workcell. Direct robot access lets your system load and unload plates as part of the run.

Plan your integration

Bring automated centrifugation
into your workflow.

Start with your method. We’ll help confirm the fit, coordinate integration and prepare your lab.

Fit your workflow.

Share your labware, payload and spin requirements. We’ll help you choose the HiG model and confirm loading access for your liquid handler or robot.

Connect your system.

Bring your instrument and scheduling details. BioNex works with your integration team, providing the API, guides and engineering support to connect the centrifugation step.

Prepare your lab.

Plan bench space, power and timing with us. Your quote will confirm site requirements and lead time, with installation, training and service options for your configuration.

Real configurations

Picture the fit in your lab.

These SLAS displays show HiG alongside other instruments, with equipment arranged above and below the work surface. Your layout starts with the devices and access your method needs.

HiG inside Ginkgo’s RAC platform.

Ginkgo Bioworks lists BioNex Solutions HiG3/4 for centrifugation among the off-the-shelf instruments it integrates into its Reconfigurable Automation Carts (RACs). It is one public example of HiG fitting into an automated system built by another provider.

At a glance

Built for the robot, not the bench.

HiG is designed for automation first: compact, robot-accessible and imbalance tolerant, built to run inside a scheduled workflow configured for your protocol.

  • Direct robotic loading, no intermediate handling.
  • Imbalance checked before and during every run, with a safe stop outside acceptable limits.
  • Cell pelleting, filtration and sample-prep workflows.
