Product news

The Teleshake 95 heater/shaker module, from INHECO, is now available for use with the BRAND Liquid Handling Station pipetting robots.

The heater/shaker module can be heated up to 90°C depending on the labware material. It can also be used to shake samples with rotation speeds from 100 rpm to 1900 rpm. The heater and shaker is compatible with microplates, PCR plates, strips, and tubes, and some low profile reservoirs and polypropylene plates. Adapter plates are available for optimum heat transfer and secure hold in the Teleshake 95 for different consumables.

Liquid Handling Station

BRANDTECH® Scientific, Inc.

The BRAND Liquid Handling Station pipetting robot handles routine tasks at high speed and with the highest precision. The LHS closes the gap between electronic pipettes and highly complex, expensive pipetting robots. It is a quiet and compact instrument with a unique front door allowing it be set up in tight quarters. The instrument has 7 working positions and 5 available liquid ends with single channel volumes up to 1000uL and multichannel volumes up to 300uL. The system has the flexibility to move liquids between reservoirs, tubes, and plates. Adapters and racks bring the consumables to an even height, reducing unnecessary vertical movements to save time during pipetting. Applications: Preparation of ‘assay ready’ plates PCR, qPCR, and ELISA Set-up Serial dilutions Microplate Replication and Reformatting DNA Normalization Cherry Picking Cell Cultures General Liquid Transfers

MicroplatesMicroplates are multi-well plates used to increase the throughput of biological investigations. The number of wells microplates contain can range from 6 to 3243 wells, with the 96-well format being the most commonly used. Microplates can come tailored for a range of applications including cell culture, PCR, filtration, storage, non-binding surface, protein crystallization, as well as pre-coated, deep well and normal Standard microplates. Additionally, options for microplate colors include clear , black, white or black with clear bottom and white with clear bottom for absorbance microplate reader applications.
