Superior Capabilities
  • Low volume / high accuracy pipetting—Low volume / high accuracy pipetting: Air displacement pipetting technology (Cavro® Air Displacement Pipettor (ADP)), Easy to maintain, Annual calibration
  • Uses disposable Tecan Tips for Automation (hanging tips with options for size / sterility / filter)
  • Scinomix software for the entire system ensures reliable performance of all components (v2.6)
  • Worklist driven run ensures proper mapping of source > destination pipetting and labeling of aliquot tubes. Excel templates are an easy way to generate worklists
  • Pipetting parameters are configurable for optimal performance. Liquid Classes – Pre-wet option – Tip touch – Aspirate / Dispense speeds – Leading and trailing air gaps – Pressure Liquid Level Detection (pLLD) – Mixing after dispense – Tip change frequency – Waste location options
  • Bulk tube feeding supported (VXi; for the aliquot tubes only)
  • Bulk filling supported (Sci-Pump; large volume fill > 1mL or adding diluent for sample dilutions)
  • Barcode scanning (aliquot tubes only)
