Model: Lynx
The Lynx Liquid Handling Robot Series Platform, or Workstation, is designed to meet the current application needs of today’s Life Science Companies. Through the implementation of Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) technology, in the 96 VVP and f8 VVP Pipetting Tools, we can directly measure liquid entering and leaving the tip volumetrically creating a final validation report that methods are accomplished as programmed. These VVP pipetting tools take the guess work out of pre-validated methods running water, reagents with dye or multiple dispenses over a balance to ‘average out’ how individual liquids may be handled. Now, validated reports are the standard with actual volumes recorded at each liquid aspirate/dispense activity and stored in the same folder as all the other standard sample tracking information; such as sample bar codes, tip and plate bar codes, reagent lot number and more. Combine VVP technology with your choice of multiple deck sizes, Standard Volume (SV) syringe based 96 and 384 pipetting tools, microplate gripper tools and vision scanning tools to configure just about any combination of liquid handling robotic system to accomplish your application.
