Your Freedom EVO can evolve as your needs change. The instrument design offers liquid handling and robotic elements that work together to automate your process and optimize your workflow. Parallel processing increases speed, enhances throughput, ensures assay reproducibility and provides efficient use of resources.
This innovative air displacement arm provides accurate and reliable pipetting without the need for system liquids, providing greater convenience and lower maintenance requirements for applications using disposable tips.
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.
Each channel offers optimized pipetting for a broad range of liquid types and volumes; free dispense is possible down to 0.5 μl with CVs below 6 %.
To avoid the risk of cross-contamination, each pipetting channel has a user exchangeable inline filter which prevents liquid being drawn into the pipetting head.
Combined with permanent pressure monitoring through Freedom EVOware, this maximizes process security and protects your valuable samples and equipment.
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.
Each liquid-filled, positive displacement channel offers efficient transfers, detecting and tracking the liquid level to avoid over-submergence of the tip or disturbance of sample pellets or precipitates.
The MCA 96 head can also operate as an 8- or 12-channel pipette by picking up a single column or row of disposable tips. This feature can be used to pipette standards, controls or to conduct serial dilutions.
The MCA 96 has the flexibility to work with both disposable and washable tips, which can be automatically exchanged during a run. Using washable fixed tips for the pipetting of reagents, buffers or solvents offers a reduction in running costs.
The RoMa arm transports microplates and other labware quickly from the worktable to peripheral devices or labware storage.
The extended range RoMa Arm offers access below the worktable, enabling further integration of devices such as centrifuges, as well as additional storage and incubation options.
