CALLI ® Automated Liquid and Powder Handling Platform
Elegant, Evolutionary & Flexible Pipetting Robot Combining Liquid Handling with Powder Handling and Weighing
CALLI combines automatic liquid and powder handling with precision weighing in a single system and opens up new dimensions in workbench automation for sample handling and preparation as well as sample management.
Proven reliable X,Y,Z-platform with 4 independent Z-drives for liquid and powder handling and an integrated robotic arm for gripping vials, tubes, plates and pick-up tools, which can then be placed in any position of the workbench area.
Unique new hardware approach The precision balance is positioned outside the workbench still within reach of the robotic arm. The balance stand avoids any mechanical distortion, minimizing the settling time, improving the sensitivity and therefore increasing the throughput.
Designed for customization To meet individual requirements, it can be equipped with vortexers, hotplates, cooling plates, stirrers, reactor blocks, incubators or other modules from our extensive range of tools. The unique software allows the customer to even integrate his own modules. For special applications we offer the service of integration of custom modules.
CALLI -plus is an optional sample management software package, offering sorting functions such as “Hit Picking” of vials and micro tubes by
individual sample properties (barcode, weight, product data) and any combination of
internal and external database values and entries.
The sorting instructions can be set up from an Excel-sheet and SQL-commands.
CALLI- plus produces report protocols which can be formatted to individual
requirements, in printed form or into special data formats for peripheral systems and
host computers.
