Hudson’s SOLO is a low cost, flexible and easy-to-use auto-mated pipettor. Available options include 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 nests on the deck and single, 8- or 12- channel pipettors. The SOLO™ easily fits on the lab bench and in standard fume hoods, anaerobic chambers and biosafety cabinets. It can automate SBS footprint microplates as well as flasks, tubes, and bottles. The SOLO will save valuable time, provide improved repeatability, and reduce errors inherent in complex, repetitive pipetting.
Equipped with a broad dynamic volume range, the SOLO can be loaded and operated manually. It can also be integrated with the Hudson PlateCrane EX and SciClops robotic arms or arms from 3rd party manufacturers. The open access to the deck of the SOLO allows 3rd party instruments to be placed on top of the deck or to either side of the deck of the SOLO. An optional Microplate Gripper can be added to move microplates among nests or instruments. The SOLO provides researchers with walk-away freedom.
The SOLO includes SoftLinx lab automation software for building simple or complex application workcells and for data tracking, traceability, and auditability. SoftLinx lab automation software has software integrations to over 200 3rd party lab instruments. Hudson’s software team can also write custom integrations as needed.
Optional deck accessories, stackers and bulk reagent dispensing can be added to enhance SOLO’s functionality.
