Streamline your lab workflows with Waters lab automation equipment and software
Automate your routine and complex sample preparation with laboratory software and instruments designed to minimize variability, improve traceability, and simplify method transfer–bringing your lab increased efficiency and scientific productivity.
From manual pipetting to walk-away automation — no programming required
Andrew+ Pipetting Robot and Pipette+ Stand let any scientist move from repetitive, error-prone manual procedures to software-guided liquid handling—whether through full automation with Andrew+ or manual assisted pipetting with Pipette+ Stand—without coding, method redevelopment, or robotics expertise. Powered by OneLab Software, they share the same drag-and-drop protocols and deliver the same traceability, whether you start with a guided pipette at the bench or scale up to a fully robotized workstation. One ecosystem that reduces hands-on time by up to 90%, scales across users, labs, and sites, and supports regulatory compliance from day one.
One platform to design, execute, and document every lab protocol — from any browser, on any device
OneLab Software is the backbone of Waters Lab Automation. Its intuitive, browser-based interface lets any scientist build liquid handling protocols through drag-and-drop, then execute them on the Pipette+ Stand for assisted manual operation, or on Andrew+ Robot for fully automated, walk-away workflows. A library of 60+ ready-to-use methods means you can start automating on day one. Every action is automatically traced with built-in audit trails, electronic signatures, and role-based access, supporting 21 CFR Part 11 and EU Annex 11 compliance out of the box.
Extend your automation beyond pipetting
Waters supports modern biological research with connected devices that enhance productivity across labs. This growing ecosystem, developed with partners, supports a wide range of workflows.
Through an expanding portfolio of smart-connected instruments, including orbital shakers, thermal shakers, heating and cooling blocks, magnetic bead separation systems, and vacuum manifolds, Waters enables seamless integration with OneLab Software via public or private servers. Together with solutions like the Andrew+ Pipetting Robot and Pipette+ Stand, these connected devices standardize methods, automate workflows, and improve lab efficiency.
Complete your automation ecosystem — with enclosures that protect and grippers that move
Waters' integrated portfolio of accessories and standalone equipment supports confident scaling while reducing manual handling and variability.
Solutions like the Andrew+ Pod offer compact and modular protection without lab modifications, extending walkaway workflows and reducing user intervention. Mounted in the Andrew+ Robot's tool stand, the Microplate Gripper enables rapid, automated transfer of microplates between Dominos in the workspace.
Together, these solutions simplify adoption, protect users and samples, and accelerate throughput while maximizing performance and reliability.
