With the recently introduced BioRAPTR FRD™ microfluidic workstation, an automated non-contact dispenser for low volume 384-well, 1536-well, and 3456-well plates and the PicoRAPTR™, a microfluidic multimode workstation features both piezo and syringe dispensing for low- volume aspirate and dispense operations involved in dose response curve generation and compound reformatting activities, Beckman Coulter's automation capabilities span the complete range of volumes, from tubes to microplates to high density 1536-well and 3456-well ChemLib™ plates.
Ideal for assay miniaturization applications in drug discovery, genomics and proteomics, the BioRAPTR FRD non-contact, high-precision dispenser delivers increased capacity and speed along with reduced reagent and consumable costs. With the BioRAPTR's unique design, the plate moves while the pipetting head is stationary, creating a shorter fluid path, for high precision with low dead volume. Flexible programming is easily done through an Excel* spreadsheet and allows a variety of reagents to be dispensed into any well at a range of volumes. The BioRAPTR FRD has been validated with biological samples, demonstrating high cell viability. PicoRAPTR is a highly versatile, automated instrument ideal for ultra-low volume aspirate and dispense operations.
With various configurations, PicoRAPTR microfluidic workstation provides users with the ability to complete spotting, compound reformatting, dose response for cell based assays and SNP assays in high density microtiter plates, slides, and chips. Versatile configurations mounted on a high performance fluidic and motion platform provide unparalleled functionality for assay development in high density microplates. The automation friendly configuration combined with high speed wash, aspiration and dispense capabilities make this unit ideal for compound reformatting operations in assay development, HTS, and chemogenomics applications. |
