Micro10x Robotic Dispenser
Hudson’s Micro10x Robotic Dispenser
provides a combination of fast filling speeds, high accuracy, and
extreme flexibility ordinarily found only among large, expensive liquid
handling robots. The Micro10x accurately dispenses liquids in volumes
down to low microliter range, and is the only small dispenser capable of
tip-touchoff to ensure a clean dispense of high surface-tension fluids.
Its positive-displacement pump head is adjustable in increments of
10nL, and never requires recalibration. The pump is available in two
different sizes (0.25″ or 0.375″ barrel) to maximize accuracy at low and
high volumes.
Combining the best features of its predecessors, the
Micro1 and Micro10, Hudson’s Micro10x represents a new generation in
bench liquid dispensers. It has full robotic control of the filler
head, and automatically adjusts to the height AND well-pattern of any
SBS-standard microplate: from low-profile 1536-well plates to tall,
96-well deep-well plates.
The Micro10x can be loaded and operated
manually, but is also fully-compatible with robot loading systems (such
as Hudson’s PlateCrane EX). And, because the filler head itself moves,
not the plate, it can be used IN-LINE with Hudson’s LabLinx
high-performance track system for unparalleled throughput and ease of
setup.
The Micro10x offers:
Touch Screen programming on a new LCD
Display which is small, easy to read, and very responsive to the
finger. The new pendant includes a positive mounting bracket on the
base unit.
Graphical Image Row Selection to control the dispening pattern
96-, 384- and 1536-well filling
microliter volumes dispensed 50 faster than its 8-tip counterparts
Tip Touch capability to touch-off droplets
Hudson’s
Micro10x was designed to meet the needs of high throughput laborotary
dispensing requiring economical, highly-accurate μL-level dispensing.
Its positive-displacement pump head and tip-touchoff capability
overcomes differences in fluid viscosity and surface tension so that
results are consistent regardless of the fluid being dispensed.
The
Micro10x is a small, dependable tool for quickly adding all types of
liquids evenly across most standard microplates. When connected to the
Hudson SOLO single channel pipettor, which can add different test
compounds into each well, virtually any assay can be prepared.It is
well-suited to use in ELISA applications as a dispenser of conjugate and
s solutions. Its high speed and robot compatability make it ideal
for ELISAs that require consistent processing of many hundreds of
plates. Its self-priming feature allows it to maintain consistently
clear dispense nozzles even during long plate-incubation times.
The
Micro10x is also ideal for rapidly dispensing fresh growth media into
culture plates in cell-based assays and growth processes. Coupled with
Hudson’s LabLinx track-based plate stackers, clean plates can be filled
with media automatically inside ordinary laboratory hoods, to ensure
high-speed, sterile filling of plates. Again, its self-priming feature
ensures unclogged nozzles and continuously flush flow channels to
minimize contamination.
The Micro10x has also found widespread use in
dispensing live cells into culture plates. Its ceramic,
positive-displacement pump head is gentle on cells, and its autoclavable
liquid path allows for easy cleanup and decontamination between
batches.
The Micro10x is well-suited to handle difficult-to-dispense
substances, like silicon oil used to preserve PCR reaction mixes from
evaporation. Its high speed and robot compatability make it ideal for
dispensing PCR reaction mix components as well, processing plates
rapidly and with great accuracy.
Hudson’s Micro10x has the features
users find convenient in small, bench instruments, plus some unique
features not normally found in bench liquid dispensers:
Auriming to allow priming at programmed intervals
Self-draining prime trough allows repeated priming without undesirable overflows or manual emptying
Equipped
with a small, highly responsive, touch screen pendant with an easy to
read color display. Comes with a positive mounting bracket on the base
unit.
Up to 20 Dispense programs, and 10 Priming programs stored internally
Full RS-232 external control capability for easy integration into robot systems
In-Line operation with track systems, or stand-alone manual-loading
Reversible pump for emptying the fluid path
Pump available in two different sizes (0.25″ or 0.375″ barrel).
Small (10? x 15?) footprint to conserve valuable bench space
All electronics are well away from potential spill areas
Up to 10 individually-controlled fluid paths are available to dispense multiple reagents “on-the-fly"
Available in either landscape (12-nozzle dispensing) or portrait (8-nozzle dispensing).
All
dispensing actions can be defined and run from Micro10x Landscape Mode
from the touch-screen LCD panel attached to the system. Volume, speed,
plate height and tip dispense depth can be programmed, as well as the
plate well density and orientation. A tip-touch feature can be added to
remove any remaining drops from the tip.
The fill pattern screen
allows the user to specify exactly which rows will be filled. A similar
interface within the SoftLinx software can be used to design serial
dilutions and complex reagent addition schemes.
Dispense volumes: 5μL and up – below 3 CV; 3-5μL – below 5 CV
Electrical: 115 VAC, 0.5 Amps
Holds factory calibration for > 50 million cycles
A fully-autoclavable liquid path
Available in either landscape (12-nozzle dispensing) or portrait (8-nozzle dispensing) style.
Offers two different pump sizes (0.25″ or 0.375″ barrel)
Typical Dispense Times for an entire plate*:
96 wells, 100uL per well, 13 seconds
96 wells, 25uL per well, 9 seconds
384 wells, 25uL per well, 22 seconds
384 wells, 10uL per well, 18 seconds
