Precision XS Microplate Sample Processor
The Precision™ XS uniquely combines a single-channel sample processing head, an 8-channel pipetting head and an 8-channel bulk reagent dispenser all in one compact, affordable product. In addition to transfers using disposable pipette tips, the Precision XS’ autoclavable and organic solvent resistant bulk reagent dispenser is available for transferring larger volumes. Intuitive Precision Power PC software simplifies the programming of applications from hit picking to serial dilutions even for those new to automated liquid handling. BioTek’s BioStack™ Microplate Stacker increases liquid handling throughput by delivering up to 30 microplates to the Precision XS platform.
The Precision XS is the best solution in sample processors for today’s modern lab providing the power of unattended operation over manual pipetting with the simplicity and economy lacking in high-end liquid handlers. The Precision XS is specifically designed to fit into most biological safety cabinets and chemical fume hoods.
- Affordable alternative to high-end liquid handlers
- User-configurable multi-station platform for flexible experimental design
- Volume ranges from 1 µL
- Intuitive Precision Power™ Software for simple programming
