Summary
- Compact and affordable Microlab NIMBUS Automated Personal Pipetting Workstations provide high-precision pipetting for low to medium throughput labs
- Air displacement technology provides liquid handling performance comparable with higher-end models
- NIMBUS platforms are available in open, enclosed, extended enclosed and large extended enclosed configurations
- Highly configurable robotic liquid handling design integrates various accessories and 3rd-party devices
- Flexible deck configurations and accepts tips from 0.5 to 5000 μL
- NIMBUS4 Base Platforms: Open, Enclosed, Extended Enclosed and Large Extended Enclosed
- NIMBUS94 Base Platforms: Open, Extended Enclosed and Large Extended Enclosed
- NIMBUS384 Base Platforms: Open, Extended Enclosed and Large Extended Enclosed
- Features:
- Up to four independent liquid channels (NIMBUS4)
- Fast plate-based pipetting with CO-RE 96 MPH or the CO-RE 384 MPH (NIMBUS96 and NIMBUS384)
- Available locking feature on enclosed models minimizes environmental contamination
- Extension plate on left or right side of extended models provides four additional locations for Hamilton stackers, pedestals, Hamilton Heater Shaker and small third-party devices
- Door locks automatically when system is running, pause/park button, attachable waste station for used tips and NTRs, communications and control panel
- Movement and status indicators provide visual cues to the operational status
- CO-RE Paddles enable transport of plates or tips across deck without a dedicated labware gripper
- Compressed O-Ring Expansion (CO-RE) with robust lock-and-key attaches disposable tips, needles or transportation tools to pipetting channels without the vertical force eliminates stress and improves overall system reliability, speed, positional accuracy and dexterity
- Air Displacement Pipetting: analogous to hand pipetting and the benefits of liquid-free pipetting, reduces the risk of contamination, provides accuracy and precision from sub-microliter to large volumes (>1 mL), pipetting range from 0.5 μL to 1000 μL using the 1000 μL pipetting channel
- Liquid Level Detection (LLD): capacitatiive (cLLD) and pressure-based (pLLD)
- Monitor Air Displacement (MAD) provides real-time detection of clots or empty wells during aspiration
- Total Aspiration and Dispense Monitoring (TADM) real-time verification of sample transfer with traceable digital audit trail (only on NIMBUS4)
- Anti-Droplet Control (ADC) reduces deck contamination by preventing inadvertent dripping from channels with real-time detection and reaction to pressure changes for each pipetting channel (only on NIMBUS4)
- INSTINCT and VENUS Software:
- Instinct Software for basic programming:
- User-friendly with graphical user interface, labware library, quick selection of most used labware, liquid class tuner, 3D viewing
- Automated deck layouts and automated tip tracking
- Auto-transports labware to destination or waste locations
- Dedicated Wizard designed for basic tasks and used pipetting routines such as: serial dilutions, reagent additions, plate replications, tube to plate, PCR setup, SPE
- VENUS Software for advanced programming:
- Enables creation or modification of complex methods from scratch with a range of utilities for: worklist importing/exporting, error handling and recovery, LMS adaptation, database/server controls, scheduling, integrated third-party device control
- 21 CFT Part II compliant
- Audit trails, user group defined security functionality and checksum system for file fidelity
- Automated Applications:
- ADMET assays, CE analysis setup, Cell assays and feeding, Cloning assays, DNA/RNA extraction and purification, ELISA preparation and processing, Liquid-liquid extraction, MALDI target spotting, Microarray sample preparation, PCR setup and purification, Post-PCR cleanup, Protein purification and digestion, Sample normalization, Sample pooling, Sequencing assays, Solid phase extraction, Solubility assays
