After manual placement, operators can focus on their actual task, namely analysing the results.

Fully automated tests: a separate handling system, based on the EXCM-30 planar surface gantry, uses electric griper EHPS-16 to transport and position the microwell plate between the individual processing steps.

The automated pipetting system, consisting of the pipetting head DHOE from Festo and the disposable syringe ejector DHAO, can accurately dispense volumes in the range of 10 µl.

Space-saving: one gantry each takes care of pipetting and dispensing liquids as well as transporting and positioning the microwell plate.

High throughput: two 3D gantries with pipetting and transport units ensure a fully automated sequence of molecular diagnostic tests.

The three-dimensional gantry EXCL can accommodate two independent Z-axes, with a rotary gripper for opening and closing on the right and a pipetting system for aspirating and dispensing on the left.

Fast and reliable aspiration: the dispense head VTOI controls all eight channels with just one valve.

Dispensing various liquids and filling quantities: the dispense head VTOE from Festo offers a wide range of possible applications.  

Reliable pipetting results: intelligent pipette head DHOP set up with the finely tuned disposable tips DHAP.
