The MicroFlo Select uses a specialised peristaltic design to deliver volumes from 1ul to 10ml with a higher degree of flexibility than current technology allows.
Three autoclaveable cassettes (1ul, 5ul, 10ul) each incorporate the appropriate dimension tubing and configuration to accurately produce full incremental volumes of liquid for the best performance within each specified volume range.
This flexibility in cassette design is coupled with BioTek's Confidence-Plus unconditional lifetime warranty.
In addition, both cassettes and cassette tubing may be quickly and easily replaced without the usual stretching associated with current peristaltic pump designs.
Compatible vessels include six- to 1536-well microplates, PCR trays, deep well microplates, microtubes, and many other tube configurations up to four inches in height.
Flexibility is further enhanced through automatic dispense height adjustment, automation capability and uncomplicated software.
Users can dispense up to eight distinct reagents at a time, and can also choose to dispense into or skip any microplate row or column.
A two-stage priming tray can direct liquid to waste, or to recovery, for precious reagents.
