"We have 4 Bravos in our lab. 3 of them are integrated into large robotic HTS systems, so they do a lot of pipetting every day. We have had very few problems and very little need for service over the years. 5 stars for ease of use, 3 of those for the software and the last two for the easy removal of the pipetting head, making it easy to switch head between units switching from a 96 head to a 384 head in a few minutes. The small footprint and easy to access deck makes the Bravo easy to integrate with different robotics. We have not had a need for a lot of after sales services, that's why I cannot give it a 5 star rating. The price tag is quite high for such a small instrument, so it should only have 3 stars in the value for money category, but I gave it an extra for the very high reliability of the product."
