Plate preparation workstations have high capacity
In addition to pipetting, plate gripping, and moving capabilities, the workstations can interface with other laboratory equipment such as washers, mixers, incubators, and readers
Disposable tips increase throughput
The addition of disposable tips to liquid handler offers an important tool for including DNA probes, PCR preparation, automated sample prep and electrophoresis
The Flexus Crystal is a highly flexible liquid handler with a unique syringeless pumping system that guarantees unsurpassed pipetting accuracy and precision while using various types of liquids, including viscous, volatile and aqueous reagents.
The versatile eight-probe Flexi-span pipettors create faster and more flexible liquid transfers with optional liquid level detection to ensure assay integrity.
Plates can be moved from on-deck stacking racks using the 270deg rotational plate gripper and plate holders help to ensure accurate positioning for protein dispensing.
For enhanced automation, additional options are available including nano-dispensing, barcode reading and plate sealing.
The Flexus Crystal software allows you to design your experiments like a scientist, but let the instrument take care of tedious pipetting tasks that are otherwise time consuming and difficult to perform.
The software has the ability to store custom screens created from stock reagents on a local database.
With the click of a button, these same procedures can be executed using optimised liquid parameters and mixing techniques to guarantee a unique set of homogeneous screening solutions.
By combining the pre-configured hardware and software, a complete solution of total accuracy and reproducibility is created. Request a free brochure from Anachem ...
