Liquid handling
qPCR is a highly versatile technique essential for many synthetic and molecular biology applications. However, human error and variability in manual pipetting can compromise the sensitivity and reliability of this technique. Gilson's PIPETMAX®, an automated liquid handler, offers a solution by enhancing throughput, accuracy, and consistency in qPCR and nucleic acid normalisation workflows. This compact benchtop system is designed to be user-friendly and accessible, making it an excellent choice for those new to automation.
The PIPETMAX® system comes equipped with a qPCR Assistant, a built-in wizard that allows users to create automated qPCR protocols without requiring any programming expertise. By transitioning to automation, laboratories can significantly reduce the risk of errors associated with manual pipetting and prevent cross-contamination, safeguarding valuable samples.
Additionally, PIPETMAX® streamlines sample preparation, freeing up time for researchers to focus on their next discovery. Its flexibility and versatility mean it can handle a range of tasks, including PCR, qPCR, cell-based assays, NGS preparation, ELISA preparation, and tip-based sample preparation, all on a single platform. This capability not only increases the number of samples processed simultaneously but also enhances testing capacity while maintaining sample integrity.
