Description
The Accuris™ AutoMATE™ 96 is a fully automated, high-throughput liquid handling workstation that improves productivity when filling microplates. Dispensing through up to 96 channels simultaneously, it significantly reduces the processing time and errors associated with manual pipetting. The workstation is compact enough to fit on a standard lab bench or inside a biosafety cabinet.
The included 8-inch tablet runs an intuitive app for programming and operation. Unlike many 96-channel pipetting stations, the AutoMATE™ 96 is hands-free: motorized tip loading and ejection and a four-position, automated sliding platform precisely align the tips with the appropriate tip rack, microplate or reservoir, so once programmed a protocol runs to completion without manual positioning or adjustment. Three interchangeable pipetting heads (sold separately) cover 1 µl to 1,000 µl.
Pipetting modes: standard aspirate/dispense; multi-dispensing (repeat pipetting) for filling plates without hand fatigue; secondary dispensing to add multiple reagents to the same plate with optional mixing; automatic, error-free serial dilutions; mixing at adjustable speeds; and reverse pipetting for maximum accuracy with small volumes of biological fluids.
Software: Manual Mode runs individual functions (load tips, eject tips, aspirate, dispense, mix, blow out), while Automated Program Mode chains steps — load/eject tips, aspirate/dispense, serial dilutions, rinse tips, repeat cycles and pauses — into protocols that run from tip loading to completion at the touch of a button. All brands of SLAS/ANSI-format microplates and reservoirs are compatible, and adapters allow 384-well plates and PCR plates to be used.
