Available in single, 8, and 12-channel pipette options, the SOLO™ Automated Liquid Handler is a flexible automated pipetting robot that can be programmed to do anything expected of a hand-held pipettor with much improved speed and reproducibility, though the use of a high-resolution motor drive. In general, a pipette rated at 20-200uL will dispense as low as 2uL with an average CV below 2%. Larger volumes are dispensed with CVs under 0.5%.
The SOLO™ Automated Liquid Handler is:
- Intuitive, it only takes minutes to learn to use
- Easy-to-use, agile, and flexible SOLOSoft™ software for data tracking and scheduling
- Precise as any ‘big deck’ robotic liquid handling system
- Compact footprint utilizes less bench space and easily fits on lab benchtops and into many standard fume hoods and biosafety cabinets
- Walk-away freedom from a continuous unattended operating system
- Available with a single channel, or multichannel (n 8-tip or 12-tip) pipette head and comes with a 6-12 position deck
- Deck can be extended to the left or right side for integrating other instruments
- Gripper available for moving labware around the deck.
- Can easily be integrated with additional instruments and software at any time
- Easily customized for unique or specialized applications
Users who wish to cherry-pick from individual wells can use either the single-tip SOLO (as shown in the video clip below) or the multi-tip configuration by picking up a single tip at a time. The SOLO 8-channel pipet head can work with just one tip, several tips, or all 8 tips without any issues. There is no need to switch to a single tip pipette head.
The SOLO multi-tip offers a broad pipetting range. The mechanical drive and software controls of the pipette head allow the SOLO to push the boundaries of pipetting performance & liquid handling.
