+ | ====Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi==== | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **About** \\ | ||
+ | The Multidrop Combi is an automatic, programmable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **User Notes** \\ | ||
+ | **Before Use**: Place the dispensing cassette tubes in proper position. Ensure that the waste containers are not full. \\ | ||
+ | **After Use**: Flush out the tubing with deionized distilled water. Empty out waste containers, disposing of the contents as appropriate. Place the dispensing cassette tubes in rest position. For more information please read: {{ : | ||
+ | |||
+ | ====BioTek ELx405 Microplate Washer==== | ||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **About** | ||
+ | |||
+ | The BioTek ELx405 is the first deep well plate washer that aspirates and dispenses into 96- and 384-well deep well and standard height microplates. | ||
+ | It is a versatile, high-performance laboratory instrument designed for automated washing of microplates, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Key Features**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Plate Compatibility**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Washing Technology**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Utilizes a patented Dual-Action™ manifold, enabling independent control of dispense and aspiration for precise washing, overfill washing, and overflow protection. | ||
+ | Low-flow rates and 20° angled dispensing are available, making it especially suitable for gentle washing of adherent cell-based assays. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Fluid Handling**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Internal positive displacement pump for accurate fluid delivery, supporting volumes from 50 to 3000 μL/well. | ||
+ | Optional buffer switching allows for up to four different wash buffers to be used automatically in a single protocol. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **User Notes** \\ | ||
+ | **Before Use**: Ensure that the waste containers are not full. \\ | ||
+ | **After Use**: Flush out washer with deionized water. Empty out waste containers, disposing of the contents as appropriate. For more information please read: {{ : | ||
+ | ====Automated Thermal Cycler==== | ||
+ | |||
+ | **About** \\ | ||
+ | The Automated Thermal cycler (ATC) is capable of performing PCRs (polymerase chain reactions) at a high-throughput scale. | ||
+ | The Thermo Fisher Applied Biosystems Automated Thermal Cycler (ATC) is a compact, robust, and highly integrable PCR instrument designed specifically for automated and high-throughput laboratory workflows. It is engineered to deliver reliable, hands-free PCR amplification, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Key Features** | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Flexible Plate and Volume Compatibility** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Supports 96-well (0.2 mL) and 384-well (0.02 mL) formats. | ||
+ | |||
+ | **PCR volume range**: | ||
+ | |||
+ | 96-well: 10–100 μL for full-skirted plates; 20–100 μL for half-skirted plates | ||
+ | 384-well: 5–20 μL for full-skirted plates | ||
+ | Compatible with ANSI/ | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Performance and Temperature Control** | ||
+ | |||
+ | Thermal range: 0°C to 105°C, supporting a wide variety of PCR protocols. | ||
+ | Temperature accuracy: ±0.25°C (35°C to 99.9°C). | ||
+ | Temperature uniformity: ≤0.5°C (20 seconds after reaching 95°C). | ||
+ | Maximum block ramp rates: 3.5°C/sec (96-well), 2.8°C/sec (384-well); maximum sample ramp rates: 1.8°C/sec (96-well), 1.6°C/sec (384-well). | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Automation and Software Integration** | ||
+ | |||
+ | SiLA Rapid Integration™ standard-compatible software allows straightforward connection to major robotic platforms. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Prewritten APIs and free desktop software enable both stand-alone operation and full robotic integration, | ||
+ | |||
+ | |||
+ | Other features include: | ||
+ | - Automated lid critical for hands-free operation | ||
+ | - Automated plate ejectors to ensure consistent plate positioning | ||
+ | - Heated cover to protect the plate nest, minimizing evaporation and enabling thermal contact | ||
