Description
Product Features:
Use Disposable or Fixed (washable) pipette tips without any hardware changes, thanks to the VersaTip™ technology
Independent Z-axis (up and down) movement control, liquid level sensing and spanning Y-motion of the Varispan™ arm easily allow pipetting in labware such as tubes, microplates, deep well plates, troughs, and vials.
Independent liquid level sensing, including aqueous, low or non-ionic polar solutions and solvents such as DMSO are possible with the patented Accursense™ technology.
Key Applications:
Protein purification
Master mix creation
Nucleic acid isolation
PCR
ELISA
Sanger
NGS
Cherry picking
Plate arrays
Plate preparation
Normalization
Nuclear testing
Sample or reagent serial dilution
DNA extraction from DBA
LC/MS sample prep
These manual workflows, and many more, can be seamlessly automated on the Fontus 8i Mini workstation.
Software features:
The Fontus 8i Mini workstation has an intuitive user interface:
WinPREP™ software and Application Assistant simplifies setup, method creation, and protocol execution. It enables real-time research monitoring, sample tracking, and device integration for automated workflows.
Designed to adapt to labs’ evolving research needs, easy-to-use WinPREP simplifies modifying existing protocols or creating new ones without needing a programmer, reducing downtime and costs.
Predefined labware definitions simplify assay set-up and enable labware definitions to remain independent of the position on the instrument.
The performance file library offers optimized pipetting parameters and the ability to modify pump speeds, air gaps, waste and blowout volumes, and liquid delays.
