apricot PP5

The apricot PP5 brings together the functionality of several pipettors into one space-saving instrument suited for both production and laboratory environments. Its accurate, reliable and repeatable automation minimizes repetitive tasks and eliminates pipetting errors to increase productivity. The intuitive interface, compact 5 plate position automated deck and optional active tip wash or reagent reservoir station simplify and significantly speed up multi-step liquid handling processes.

Features and benefits of the apricot PP5

• 5 linear stations, plus 1 tip wash/reservoir station
• 1, 8, 12, 16, 24, 96,384 channel pipetting
• Multiple pipetting heads of various formats on deck
• High-precision pipetting heads are independent of pipetting mechanism
• On the fly tip changes with EZ-Load tip technology
• Intuitive iPad® controller is easy to use
• Also, available with PC software controller
• Microplate stacker and robotics readily integrates into an automation work cell integrated tip washing system
• Small footprint maximizes bench space and fits in most standard hoods

EZ-Load technology

EZ-Load technology simplifies semi-automated pipetting with disposable tips without the need for any additional tools or fixtures for loading or unloading. The EZ-Load tips simply drop directly into the head and are ready to use in seconds. The upward clamping force onto the EZ-Load head, whether done with an easy manual lever or with a motorized clamp, will provide a simple and consistent seal which is required for the best pipetting results.
