Arms

Air LiHa

Available with four or eight pipetting channels, it offers a broad volume range from 0.5 to 1,000 µl per channel, with non-contact dispensing down to 0.5 μl.

Liquid LiHa

The Liquid LiHa is offered with disposable or fixed tips. Fast wash pumps ensure total system cleanliness through rapid washing of fixed tips from behind to minimize sample carry-over.

All LiHa arms offer variable Y-spacing, enabling sample transfers to and from a variety of labware types.

MCA 96

 

Simultaneous pipetting of 96 channels provides timely addition of liquids directly into microplates.

The MCA can also operate as an 8 or 12 channel pipette by picking up a single row or column of tips, useful for pipetting standards, controls or to conduct serial dilutions.

Robotic Arms

The robotic arms transport microplates, tubes and other labware quickly and efficiently between worktable, peripheral devices and labware storage enabling longer assay runs and walk-away time.

 

Available Arms:

RoboticManipulator (RoMa) Arm

For transporting microplates & labware from to worktable to peripheral devices or labware storage.

 

Extended Robotic Manipulator (RoMa) Arm

Offers access to below the worktable, enabling further integration of centrifuges, additional storage & incubation.

 

Pick & Place (PnP) Arm

Fast & precise single tube movement.

 

Options

Te-Shake

Orbital microplate shaker with heating option (up to 80 ͦC)

 

Te-VacS™
