Apricot Design TPS-384 Total Pipetting Solution
Consisting of:
- 384-Channel Disposable Tip Head
- 384-Tip Wash System w/Pump
- On-Board Microplate Shaker
- Dell PC Workstation
- Dell 17” LCD Monitor
- Apricot Design TPS System Software
- Cabling & Interface Kit
- Operator’s Manuals
- ARTEL MVS Verification w/Documentation
- 180-Day Parts & Labor Warranty
Description:
The Total Pipetting Solution (TPS) represents a new generation of affordable liquid handling systems with the versatility and reliability required for today’s demanding laboratory environment. With the innovative Externally Sealed Pipette (ESP) tips, the TPS pipetting system surpasses its competition in terms of applications diversity and reliability. This powerful pipettor has a compact size that easily fits on laboratory benches and can also be placed in suitable laboratory hoods.
The TPS-384 uses Apricot Designs’ unique head design which employs high-precision manufacturing to produce reasonably priced heads that are independent of the pipetting mechanism. The TPS-384 electronically loads and unloads pipetting heads in a few seconds, allowing simple and easy set-up for the required application. The TPS-384 will automatically index the pipetting head if necessary for accessing 1536-well plates.
Features:
- 384 pipetting channels for fastest operations of 384 liquid addition or 384-to-384 plate replication.
- Flexible design for liquid transfers and pipetting operations for 96, 384 and 1536-well microplates and can also be used for serial dilutions by row or column.
- Uses the unique easy-change head system from Apricot Designs, allowing the user to build a diverse head library with a reasonable investment. The heads are interchangeable with other Apricot pipettors.
- Select from 12 to 15 deck positions that can be used for plates, reservoirs, or tips for optimal walkway automation.
- Automatic disposable tip loading and unloading for Apricot ESP tips and Biomek® FX compatible disposable tips. The disposable tip loading location is accessible by robotics for expanded capacity.
- Intuitive graphical user interface via serial interface control.
- Small footprint conserves bench space and fits easily into suitably-sized hoods.
Options:
- Fixed tip heads with 8, 12, 16, 24, 96, or 384 channels.
- Disposable tip heads with 8, 12, 16, 24, 96, or 384 channels for Apricot ESP tips, Apricot 550 tips or Biomek® FX tips.
- Tip washing system with re-circulating pump.
- Optional built-on ducted or re-circulating hood enclosure.
Applications:
- Plate replication
- Plate reformatting
- Reagent addition
- Compound addition
- Serial dilution (by row or column)
Automation:
The open deck design makes it easy to use robotics to supply labware and disposable tips to the TPS-384. It
can be integrated as part of an automation workcell by combining it with laboratory automation software
and robotics.
Specifications:
- Dispensing Precision: <2% CV at 1 ul (96) / <2.8% CV at 1 ul (384)
- Dispensing Accuracy: +/- 1% at 1 ul (96) / +/- 1.25% at 1 ul (384)
- Resolution: 0.1 ul
- Pipette Volume: 0.5 - 125 ul
- Dimensions: (3x4) 35”W x 23”D x 27”H 870W x 585D x 686H mm
(3x5) 41”W x 23"D x 27”H 1029W x 585D x 686H mm
- Weight: Approx. 190 lbs (95 kg)
- Power: 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 HZ
- Operating Temperature: 50 - 100 ºF
