Immuno Concepts AFT2000 Pippeting Robot

• Automated liquid handling for diagnostic assays and sample preparation.
• High-throughput screening in drug discovery and research.
• Serial dilutions and reagent addition in microbiology and cell culture.
• Genomic and proteomic sample processing in molecular biology labs.

Typical capacity

Often features multi-plate compatibility, typically handling 96-well or 384-well plates.

Pipetting volume range

Commonly supports a broad range, from sub-microlitre to several hundred microlitres.

Number of pipetting channels

Units of this type often have 8 or 12 independent pipetting channels for parallel processing.

Power supply

Typically operates on standard laboratory power, commonly 230V, 50Hz for the UK market.

Footprint

For this class of equipment, the footprint can vary but is generally designed to fit on a standard lab bench.

Software interface

Usually includes dedicated software for protocol creation, execution, and data management.

• What kind of maintenance does a pipetting robot require?

  Routine maintenance typically involves cleaning, calibration of pipetting heads, and checking for wear on moving parts. Specifics will depend on the manufacturer's guidelines.

• Can this robot handle different types of labware?

• Is training typically required to operate such a system?

• What are the typical benefits of using a pipetting robot?

• How does a used pipetting robot compare to a new one?

Automated pipetting systems are generally regarded as reliable workhorses in laboratory and biotech settings. Buyers typically value their precision, reproducibility, and ability to reduce manual handling errors. When purchasing used units, key considerations include maintenance history, calibration status, and compatibility with existing laboratory information systems. Common strengths include improved throughput, consistent results across multiple samples, and reduced operator fatigue. Prospective buyers should verify that spare parts remain available and assess whether training support is accessible for their team.
