Product Details
- Configurable and affordable NIMBUS4 Automated Personal Pipetting Workstations with four independent CO-RE pipetting channels
- Capacity of 1000 μL (up to 4 channels) or 5000 μL (up to 2 channels)sizes
- Flexible pipetting for tubes and plates; cLLD and pLLD for polar and non-polar (organic) liquids
- Air displacement technology provides liquid handling performance comparable with higher-end models
- Choose base platform configuration: Open, Standard Enclosed, Extended Enclosed (12”), Large Extended Enclosed (24”)
- Features:
- Available locking cover set 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 on enclosed models when system is running, pause/park button, attachable waste station for used tips and NTRs, communications and control panel
- Movement and status indicators provides 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 5000 μL
- 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
