Liquid Handling

MIDSCI has a full line of liquid handling products including laboratory pipettes, pipette tips, pipettors, reagent reservoirs, aspiration systems, and pipette controllers.

Some liquid handling products are known to have safety issues and others are prone to errors that lead to poor results. 
  
Our liquid handling products keep in mind the basics, like price and quality, but also go one step further to solve or pre-empt these and other issues researchers (and even the planet) may face. 
  
For instance, the aspiration systems we stock are known for performance but also for safety. Our pipettor calibration service ensures reproducible results. We carry unbreakable transfer pipettes that avoid glass hazards. And we even have eco-friendly reagent reservoirs!

AutoMATE 96 Microplate Pipetting Workstation 

Spend more time on your research…AutoMATE your pipetting.
  • Fast and accurate 96-channel pipetting
  • Accepts 96/384 well microplates, PCR plates and reservoirs
  • Touch-screen tablet for programming & operation
  • 4-position motorized platform
  • Exchangeable pipette heads (1-20µL, 5-200µL, 100-1000µL)
 
The AutoMATE™ 96 from Accuris Instruments is a fully automated, high throughput liquid handling workstation that improves productivity when filling microplates. Capable of dispensing up to 96 channels simultaneously, the AutoMATE 96 significantly reduces the processing time and errors associated with manual pipetting.

The included tablet features an intuitive app for programming and operation. Unlike many 96-well pipetting stations, the AutoMATE 96 is “hands-free”, with motorized tip loading/ejection and a four position, automated, sliding platform that precisely aligns the tips with the appropriate microplate/reservoir. Once programmed, the instrument can run protocols to completion without any manual positioning or adjustment.

Three interchangeable heads allow for a pipetting range from 1.0µL to 1000µL.  The AutoMATE 96 is compact enough to fit onto a standard lab bench or into a biosafety cabinet.

Pipetting Modes:
 
Standard Pipetting: Aspirating and dispensing reagents by hand is labor-intensive and error prone. With the AutoMATE 96, reagents can be aspirated and dispensed automatically, ensuring accurate and precise transfer to and from microplates or reservoirs.

Multi-Dispensing (Repeat Pipetting): Continually filling microplates is a time-consuming process that can often result in hand fatigue. With the Multi-Dispensing function, repeatedly filling microplates can be automated and accomplished quickly without introducing hand strain or fatigue.

Secondary-Dispensing (Plate Filling): Many protocols and applications call for filling a plate with multiple samples or reagents. With the AutoMATE 96, multiple reagents can be aspirated and dispensed into the same microplate. For improved results, each dispense can be programmed to be include a mixing step.

Serial Dilutions: Performing serial dilutions via manual methods is labor-intensive and error prone. Errors in this process will amplify subsequent dilutions as the process continues. With the AutoMATE 96, serial dilutions can be performed automatically and error free.

Mixing:  Mixing reagents by hand is strenuous and can be inconsistent. With the AutoMATE 96, mixing can be performed automatically with adjustable speeds, ensuring consistency.

Reverse Pipetting: When the accuracy of pipetting volume is critical, the AutoMATE 96 can be set to reverse pipetting mode. This technique greatly improves accuracy &precision with small volumes of biological fluids.

Software and Programming: Two operating modes are available and can be selected per the user’s preference.

Manual Mode: Perform operations quickly & efficiently simply by selecting each function individually.

Manual functions:
  • Load tips
  • Eject tips
  • Aspirate reagents
  • Dispense reagents
  • Mix reagents
  • Blow out reagents

Automated Program Mode: Create a protocol made up of multiple steps in succession. This interface allows for complex protocols to be run from tip-loading through completion with the touch of a button.

Programmable steps:
  • Load/Eject Tips
  • Aspirate/Dispense reagents
  • Perform serial dilutions
  • Rinse tips
  • Repeat a cycle
  • Pause after a certain step

Broad Labware Compatibility: All brands of microplates and reservoirs meeting SLAS/ANSI formats are compatible for use with the AutoMATE 96. Included plate adapters allow 384 well microplates and PCR plates to be used.

Fully Automated Tip Loading and Ejection: Motorized tip loading and ejection provides handsfree, consistent tip loading throughout all 96 wells.

Transferpette® S

 

The Transferpette S air displacement pipette allows you to work efficiently and ergonomically with both small and large volumes. Due to its perfect ergonomics, the Transferpette S provides a comfortable grip in any hand position, whether you are right- or left-handed, or have big or small hands.

 

  • True one-hand operation for right- and left-handed users: Easily set the volume, pipette and eject the tip
  • Color code on the volume adjustment wheel, shaft, and volume-change protection
  • Low operating forces and a short stroke ensure relaxed pipetting, even during long pipetting series
  • Slim shaft for sampling from narrow vessels (centrifuge tubes)
  • Universal tip cone
  • Fully autoclavable at 121°C

 

The volume-change protection is also easy to operate with gloves on and protects your set volume against accidental adjustment. The Transferpette S also features Easy Calibration technology, which makes calibration a breeze. Calibration can be carried out without tools. A compatibility table shows which tips fit which device so that you always order the correct pipette tips.

Green Reagent Reservoirs

Innovative Design Saves Space and Reduces Plastic Waste

 

The "Green" Reagent Reservoirs incorporate several innovative design features that reduce plastic waste, save storage space, and enhance performance. This reagent reservoir system consists of disposable, clear polystyrene inserts that fit within a rigid base. Because the skirt on the inserts has been eliminated, this significantly reduces the amount of plastic waste that is experienced when using standard one-piece reagent reservoirs.

 

  • Innovative design that reduces plastic waste and saves space
  • Saves 75% in storage space
  • Easy-to-see, bold, black Vol graduations eliminate costly overpours
  • Pour-spout corners provide easy, spill-free pouring
  • Unique trough within a trough design for complete sample retrieval
  • 2nd reservoir can act as a lid to prevent evaporation and contamination

Texan Reagent Reservoirs

 
  • Improved design
  • Vol graduations to 150 mL
  • a reinforced base that won't wobble on the counter, preventing spills
  • a new easy-to-open latch that can be manipulated with one hand
  • greater clarity for improved visibility of contents

Texan reagent reservoirs are reusable -- an environmentally sound alternative to disposable reagent reservoirs. Their extra-large capacity means fewer refills and time saved. The V-shaped basin is compatible with both eight- and twelve-place multiple pipettors with minimal reagent waste. Lids are removable -- attached with ball and socket hinges -- and latch tightly for secure storage of left-over reagents. With lids closed, Texan reagent reservoirs are stackable. A perimeter ridge on the lid prevents sliding. Construction is clear, chemical-resistant, autoclavable polypropylene. Molded graduation marks provide Vol indication at 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, and 150 mL.


Available sterile and non-sterile. Sterile reagent reservoirs are supplied in bags of 5, nonsterile in bags of 10, both within outer packages of 100.
