Liquid Handling - The liquid handler is a cornerstone instrument for automated laboratories. The basic function is to dispense precise quantities of liquid samples, reagents, or solvents to from and to various labware.

Applications

  • Plate reformatting
  • Plate replication
  • Hit Picking
  • Tube to plate reformatting
  • Tube to tube reformatting
  • Reagent addition
  • Serial dilution

Zinsser Analytic has experience with automated liquid handling dating back to 1984. Zinsser liquid handling platforms such as the Lissy, Lissy 2002, Moss, and Sophas are based on proven liquid handling platforms that are chosen for performance, reliability, and flexibility.

Performance. All Zinsser liquid handlers use high-performance dilutors and microsyringes, and meet current standards for precision and accuracy. (Typical precision <1%).

Reliability. Zinsser liquid handlers are built on proven, reliable XYZ robotic platforms for the most robust continual operations.

Flexibility. Zinsser liquid handling platforms offer the greatest flexibility for the selection of features and options. Each system can be configured to best suit the needs of each laboratory, and the modular design allows for reconfiguration in the field if necessary.

  • 4 or 8 dispensing probes.
  • Probes have independent variable spacing and independent Y axes to allow maximum flexibility for plate to plate or tube to plate pipetting operations.
  • Fixed tips or disposable tips.
  • Robot arm for mobbing plates, tube racks, and tools.
  • Multiple deck sizes from small to large to best fit each situation.
  • Flexible deck configuration allows placement of wash stations, reactors, stirrers, vortexers, heaters, chillers, and more.
