Flexible, versatile, and affordable automated liquid handling instrumentation.
This easy to use and accessible 96 and 384 channel liquid handling system with interchangeable pipetting core is up to 12x faster than an 8-channel handheld pipettor. Ideal for laboratories taking their first step towards automation, it incorporates adjustable split level manually actuated plate elevators for individual sampling using multiple plates and supports a variety of SBS format labware. The EZ-Load tip technology and touch-screen control interface enable intuitive and straightforward operation across the whole research team.
The multi-channel liquid handling system with convenient interchangeable pipetting core enables researchers to pipette into all wells of a 96-well plate with an S-Pipette 96 core, or 384-well plate with S-Pipette 384 core. The instrument is more than 12x faster than a conventional 8-channel handheld pipettor, making it ideal for laboratories taking their first steps towards automation.
The S1 uses apricot’s unique EZ-Load disposable tips for simple, no-pressure loading without a requirement for any tools.
The instrument incorporates adjustable split level manually actuated plate elevators for individual sampling using multiple plates and supports a variety of SBS format labware.
The instrument is easily and intuitively controlled through a simple touchscreen interface and requires minimal operator training.
The compact design conserves precious bench space and fits easily into suitably sized hoods.
