We also built a gantry on top to position the liquid
pipettor."
Based on Middleton, Wis.-based Gilson's PIPETMAN
pipettor, the platform performs applications targeted to life sciences laboratory applications.
Two [micro]l of peptides in diH2O were added to each circuit with a multichannel
pipettor and were allowed to dry at RT, followed by a brief wash with di[H.sub.2]O and drying at RT.
Pipettors: Another must-have component of the lab, and not one easily substituted with cheap alternatives.
We used a Digiflex TP (Titertek) automatic
pipettor equipped with dual microprocessor-controlled, direct drive stepper motors for aspirating and dispensing and a Turbovap LV evaporator (Caliper Life Sciences) for drying samples.
Transfer one drop (if using transfer pipet) or 10 microliters (if using
pipettor) of undiluted, overnight bacterial culture into the tube labeled "#1." Cap the tube, and invert to mix.
Under this agreement Biohit becomes a focus supplier of
pipettors and disposable
pipettor tips to VWR customers throughout Europe.
For our screening instrumentation, we chose an integrated screening system, the SAGIAN Core System from Beckman equipped with a three metre rail, ORCA robotic arm, Biomek FX liquid handler (96-tip and span eight
pipettors), and SAMI integration software.
Generic disposable tips are used in these
pipettors. Custom packaging and custom imprinting of company name or logo also is available.
Using conventional
pipettors over extended periods, researchers have reported nerve damage and carpal tunnel syndrome.
For data management, the MVS can evaluate 16- and 24-channel
pipettors, as well as
pipettors with one, two, four, eight, 12, 96, and 384 channels.
