Liquid handling workstation

Thursday, 18 March, 2004 | Supplied by: http://www.eppendorf.com.au/


The epMotion 5070 workstation allows for rapid and reproducible dispensing with pipettes and other dispensing variants. The unit offers a large volume range from 1 to 1000 µL.

Procedures previously done manually can now be easily and quickly performed on the workstation. Proven pipetting procedures currently in use are maintained when transferred to the system. The automated epMotion conversion is made easier by the extensive similarity of the system to manual pipettes.

Operation is carried out over the keyboard of a connected control panel. A mouse connection enables free movement of the cursor over the integrated screen. No PC is necessary, which means extra workbench space.

Once the interchangeable dispensing tool is inserted (a selection of three volume ranges, single or multi-channel, is available), the subsequent steps are all carried out completely automatically. The dispensing tool attaches to the tip, the liquid to be dispensed is taken up from a supply and discharged into one or more target tubes. The dispensing is normally concluded following the ejection of the pipette tip. An optical sensor system controls and guarantees the reliability of the procedure. The programming controls the testing of the liquid volumes, the pipette tip type and the tubes used. Transport and archiving of parameters is carried out with the novel MultiMedia Card technology.

The epMotion 5070 allows for fast filling of plates with buffer in the 384 well scale. Users can, however, also load a 384 well MTP with other formats, example 4x MTP 96 well. Samples from 96 single Eppendorf tubes can also automatically be transferred into an MTP 96.
