Robot STAR – Hamilton
SPECIFICATIONS
- Comes with a 96-well pipette head and 8 individual pipettes
APPLICATIONS
- Dilution of samples in 96-well plates
- Transferring samples from tubes to 96-well plates, from 96-well plates to tubes, and from source 96-well plates to destination 96-well plates
- DNA distribution in PCR mixtures (96-well and 384-well plates)
- Purification using magnetic beads
- Contact us for other applications
Dragonfly – SPT Labtech
SPECIFICATIONS
- Comes with 6 separate pipettes
- Dispensing range from 0.2 µL to 4 mL
- Contactless dispensing (no cross-contamination), high-speed (2 minutes for 5 µL in a 384-well plate using a single pipette) and with high dispensing accuracy regardless of the liquid’s viscosity
APPLICATIONS
- Supply of PCR, qPCR and NGS reaction master mixes in 96-well and 384-well plates (up to1536).
- Dispensing of all types of liquids (gradients, plate aliquoting, etc.)
This equipment enables a significant reduction in costs by reducing reaction volumes and producing plate series in record time.
When used in conjunction with Hamilton’s STAR robot for sample dispensing, you can easily scale up to medium or very high throughput
VIAFLO 384 – Integra Biosciences
SPECIFICATIONS
- Comes with a 96-channel pipetting head
- Dispensing volume range: 0.5–12.5 µL
APPLICATIONS
- Transfer from tank to plate
- Plate-to-plate transfer (96-well and 384-well formats)
- Contact us for other applications
