What instrument is right for me? |
||||
| Ideal for application where one plate is processed without frequent tip changes while you benefit from improved reproducibility and ergonomics e.g. plate filling or serial dilutions. | Labs who are looking for automation in order to increase hands-free time. With automatic tip exchange and up to 5 deck positions the ASSIST PLUS allows for a highly flexible assay setup. The automation of the VOYAGER adjustable tip spacing pipettte enables plate reformatting and also tube-to plate transfers. The D-ONE single channel pipetting module enables easy automation of tedious normalization and hit picking processes. | |||
