Purpose

Reagents may be expensive and has to be temperated partly. The complete utilization of the volume is desirable for automated processes on liquid handling robots with 96 or 384 channel head. The customized modul uses low death volume reservoirs for 96 or 384 channel head pipetting in temperated and inert gas enviroment.

The module prevents effectively input of humidity and oxygen in reagent reservoirs and microtiter plates by inert gas flooding.

In addition, the module can be used for sucking off vapors of aggressive solvents via reagent reservoirs.

Features

• use of low death volume reservoirs for 96 or 384 channel pipetting
• for 96/384 removable autoclavable reservoirs
• with perforated plate for stripping drops at the tips and to cover the reservoir
• inert gas flooded labware tray
• can be tempered
• lidded
• gas flow manuelly adjusted and automatically switched
• pipetting with single channel or multichannel heads
• Custom specific options integrable

The customized modul was developed originally to allow handling on Biomek series. The device can be modified for other liquid handling robots on request.
