Now available from Anachem Ltd., the Rainin 20µl Liquidator 96 is a great addition to the Liquidator 96 range of manual bench top pipetting systems. Accurate and efficient, it maximizes your workflow, without the need for complicated programming or dedicated technician time. With its volume range of between 0.5µl and 20µl, this new Liquidator platform is now a viable option for many more low volume applications requiring superior accuracy and precision particularly in the areas of genomics and proteomics.

This incredibly fast system can improve efficiency in a wide variety of plate based applications. Using the Liquidator 96, a novice operator unfamiliar with the system can fill ten 96-well plates accurately and reproducibly with 100µl/well of solution from a single reservoir, using the same tips, in less than 4 minutes, which is equivalent to 20 seconds per plate.

Liquidator 96 has an incredibly small footprint of only 38cm wide x 33cm deep x 40cm high. It is completely mobile and fits anywhere on your bench or in a laminar flow cabinet. It operates just like a manual pipette so is immediately available for use by all researchers, without the need for specialist technical knowledge or even access to a power supply. The low forces required to load and eject the patented Liquidator LTS tips makes it comfortable to use all day long

Many applications can now be considered operationally feasible with the new 20µl Liquidator 96, especially PCR and qPCR. The system providing greater flexibility to every lab and enables a broader variety of throughput strategies that were not previously possible. All aspects of genomic, proteomic and glycomic research can now take advantage of the flexibility of the Liquidator 96 in a diverse range of applications.

Genome AnalysisGenomics, the study of genomes, includes functional genomics, evolutionary genomics and comparative genomics. There are many genomic technologies such as DNA sequencing of whole genomes, computational biology and bioinformatics. DNA and nucleic acids must be isolated and concentrated from cells for analysis with kits, automated analyzers and software. Other useful technologies for studying genomics include PCR, microarrays and electrophoresis.GlycobiologyGlycobiology encompasses research into the biological functions, synthesis and structures of glycans, including glycoproteins, glycolipids, proteoglycans and free oligosaccharides. Mass spectrometers and their software are commonly used in the study of glycobiology, along with structure predicting tools, chromatography and NMR.ProteomicsProteomics is the systemic bioinformatics study of proteins and amino acids, including their structure, size, function and identification. Tools used in proteomics include chromatography, blotting and gels, protein arrays, mass spectrometry and ELISA and associated analysis software. Analyzers and proteomic systems should be sensitive, high resolution, fast and may be automated for high-throughput.PCR and Thermal CyclingPolymerase chain reaction (PCR) kits and thermal cyclers are used for the in vitro amplification of DNA permitting subsequent analysis and experimental procedures. Explore a range of high-quality polymerase, primers and nucleotides or simplify your workflow with a PCR mastermix. Find reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR) and cDNA synthesis kits for RNA products and libraries. Quantitatively measure the amplification of DNA with real-time PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) kits and systems, and discover automated PCR setup solutions to increase throughput.
