Are you struggling to keep up with your sample throughput using a standard multichannel pipette but can’t justify the expense and complexity of moving up to a fully automated liquid
handling platform?
Alternatively, are you already using a laboratory robot but have a large quantity of samples to process that need maximum sterile conditions. Perhaps you need to minimise your contact with hazardous material?So, do you need a complimentary pipetting system to your existing automated platform with a small enough footprint for use in a laminar flow cabinet?
The New Rainin Liquidator 96 could be the answer to your prayers.
The Liquidator 96 is a ready-to-use manual bench top pipetting system.
Accurate and efficient, it maximises your workflow, without the need for complicated programming or dedicated technician time.
This incredibly fast system can be used for a wide variety of applications:
- Plate & Mother-Daughter replication
- Reformatting from 96 to 384-well
- Washing steps
- Dilutions
- ELISA/EIA.
Fast
Using the Liquidator 96, a novice operator unfamiliar with the system can fill ten 96-well plates accurately and reproducibly with 100μl/well of solution from a single reservoir, using the same tips, in less than 4 minutes This is equivalent to only 20 seconds per plate.
Compact
Liquidator 96 has an incredibly small footprint of only 38cm wide x 33cm deep x 40cm high. It is completely mobile and fits anywhere on your bench or in a laminar flow cabinet.
Simple and Comfortable to Use
Liquidator 96 operates just like a manual pipette so is immediately available for use by all researchers, without the need for specialist technical knowledge or even access to a power supply.
The base of the unit houses two sliding plate holders that move along the y-axis, each of which can hold two 96-well plates; typically, one position is used to hold a box of 96 Liquidator LTS tips. Above these holders is a gantry that allows a pipetting head assembly to smoothly move along the x-axis and to be positioned directly over either of the two holders. Attached to the head assembly is a 96-well liquid head that can move down along the z-axis, closer to the holders.
A micrometer is used to set the precise volume required for each tip, an aspirate/dispense lever moves samples in and out of the tips and a load/disengage mechanism attaches and ejects tips.
The forces required to load and eject the patented Liquidator LTS tips are extremely low and do not place any burden on the researcher even if it is used all day. The Liquidator 96 has an operating mechanism similar to all pipettes, with a home position, a first stop and blowout to remove the remaining sample volume in the tip. This simple set of mechanical components and linkages provides for a robust and precise yet simple system which is under the control of the user at all times.
Many applications can now be considered operationally feasible with the new Liquidator 96, providing greater flexibility to every lab and enabling a broader variety of throughput strategies that were not possible before. All aspects of genomic, proteomic and glycomic research can now take advantage of the flexibility of the Liquidator 96 in a diverse range of applications.
