Automated sample processor M5-D series

washingfillingon casters

This microplate processor provides for integration of up to 5 process functions in series. Different functions can be selected according to requirements. Three typical system configurations: • M5-D1: with “Day 1” functions such as printing on microplate frames and strip tabs, particulate removal (from wells), precision filling, bubble detection, and ultrasonic fill verification with bar code reading • M5-D2: with “Day 2” functions such as washing, blocking, aspiration, drying, and bar code reading • M5-D1+2: with both “Day 1” and “Day 2” functions (as illustrated above) Manifold stations are interchangeable and can be swapped out and sequenced as needed for different process passes. There are manifolds for filling, aspirating, and combined filling and aspirating at one station (for multiple wash steps). Different nozzle sizes and arrays are available to accommodate different well geometries (flat, “C”, “U”, star, low volume, etc.) Manifolds are available for 96 well and 384 well plates (and can be made to order for different well arrays). The robust system design provides the precision and reliability needed to efficiently produce a quality product. System speeds can range between 400 and 1200 plates per hour depending on configuration. Stacks for feeding and restacking have capacity for 30 plates. (Many more functions are available on our larger systems.)
