Automated liquid handling robots (a class of devices that can include automated pipetting systems as well as microplate washers) dispense and sample liquids in tubes or wells and are often integrated as automated injection modules as the front end of liquid chromatographic systems. These critical labor saving devices offer precision sample preparation for high throughput screening/sequencing (HTC), liquid or powder weighing, sample preparation, and bio-assays of many kinds. The automated pipetting systems handle volumes ranging from .5 ul to 5 L. These units may have built in components in order to feed samples into heating and cooling systems for thermal cycling or shaking systems depending on the target application, or are physically constructed for easy integration with peripheral labware. Liquid handlers with robotic arms allow the user to program the devices to manipulate external labware to extend the systems uses. Other desirable features include programs to control start/stop functions and to choreograph sequential steps necessary for chemical and biochemical assays and for injection options.

| Description | Inquire | Inquire | While traditional handheld pipettes or larger automated liquid dispensers greatly deteriorate in accuracy and precision below 2 µL volumes, the Mantis automated liquid dispenser excels at low-volume dispensing in a wide variety of scientific workflows.
The system is an easy and affordable solution toWhile traditional handheld pipettes or larger automated liquid dispensers greatly deteriorate in accuracy and precision below 2 µL volumes, the Mantis automated liquid dispenser excels at low-volume dispensing in a wide variety of scientific workflows.
The system is an easy and affordable solution to quickly increase the reproducibility and quality of your research as well as the throughput and efficiency of your laboratory. The diaphragm-based chip design is liquid class compatible, easily dispensing aqueous and organic solutions. Additionally, the Mantis will dispense in any SBS template from 6 to 1536 well plates and can be easily programmed to dispense to custom designs as needed....

Even with optional stackers to hold up to 25 standard height plates and a barcode reader that increases traceability and enables multiple experimental designs to be executed in one unattended process; the system will The TEMPEST packs a huge amount of functionality into a small footprint. Even with optional stackers to hold up to 25 standard height plates and a barcode reader that increases traceability and enables multiple experimental designs to be executed in one unattended process; the system will comfortably fit inside a biological safety cabinet. Useful when dispensing cells, which the TEMPEST excels at.
The positive displacement microdiaphragm dispensing technology means that reagents, beads, and cells do not pass through any harsh mechanical solenoid valves. This improves cell viability and prevents clogging that frequently hampers dispensing with other systems. The unique recirculating prime feature also ensures that cells and beads remain in suspension and helps to achieve uniform & reproducible results even across long dispensing runs. Recirculating during priming also helps to reduce waste of precious reagents; a non-recoverable dead volume of <40µL.
The chip-based diaphragm dispensing technology enables the TEMPEST to dispense a broad range of liquids, from solvents including DMSO, aqueous reagents, and even highly viscous liquids without needing to perform any calibration steps. The chips are even automatically cleaned ready for their next use, and the next use, and the next use - up to 1 million dispense cycles without loss of performance. This economical and eco-friendly method of dispensing will prevent the expense and waste of thousands of pipette tips over the lifetime of the system.
Application areas include - cell dispensing for cell culture and cell-based assays; assay development; high throughput screening; time course and kinetic assays; dose-response curves; ELISA; qPCR and NGS. The intuitive software allows users to create even complex dispense protocols in minutes and is capable of importing data from plate readers, design of experiment software and other external sources.
Compatible with SBS/ANSI standard labware 6 / 12 / 24 / 48 / 96 / 386 / 1536 well plates, can also handle deep-well plates.
Fast: dispense 5µL to 96 well plate in 4 seconds; 10µL to 384 well plate in 9 seconds; 200nL to 1536 well plate in 11 seconds.
Precise: CV <5% at 1 µL, <8% at 0.2 µL... Read More |
