CyBio Well vario - Multichannel Automated Pipetting System 96, 384 and 1536 channel simultaneous pipettor
- High application flexibility due to enormous volume spectrum
- Highest precision in the entire volume range
- Unique pipetting technology prevents cross contamination
Product Details
Multiple Pipette Heads on a Solid Base
The CyBio Well vario includes an automated base which accepts different interchangeable simultaneous pipetting heads. The heads can be changed quickly and easily either at the front or the back of the instrument. The pipetting heads are automatically detected – fully preserving accuracy and precision without calibration steps.
A working volume range of four orders of magnitude allows liquid transfers from 25 nl up to 250 µl on one platform with 96, 384 or 1536 channels. The CyBio Well vario multichannel automated pipetting system adapts into any screening environment and it is compatible with all other accessories of the CyBio Well family. The innovative CyBio Composer Software supports the flexibility of the system and immediately detects new pipetting heads.
- Extremely flexible through enormous volume spectrum
- Highest precision throughout the whole volume range
- Unique pipetting technology prevents cross contamination
- Easy application set-up using CyBio Composer software
- Saves reagent costs with accurate low volume pipetting

*The specification of precision and trueness is based on the Analytik Jena internal gravimetric and photometric standard measurement procedure, which is published as Annex B7 in the ISO IWA 15 document "Specification and method for the determination of volumetric performance of automated liquid handling systems" (www.IWA15.org). The Application Note "Photometric and Gravimetric Liquid Handling Check Procedure to determine the Random Error (Precision) and the Systematic Error (Accuracy) of Automated Liquid Handling Systems (ALHS)" describes this measuremet procedure in detail.
