A New Way Of Performing Solid Phase Extraction

EZ 96-SPE Tips

EZ 96-SPE tips provide a unique, high throughput and fully automated SPE processing for use with Tomtec Quadra 96 workstation. EZ 96-SPE tips are made by packing any sorbent of your choice between two PE frits inside Tomtec Quadra 96 tips. Problems generally associated with vacuum SPE processing are eliminated using this new tip-based approach. Better liquid flow control and bio-directional flow capabilities may generate more reproducible results and higher recovery. Lower costs, easy operation, low contamination and carry-over are four additional bonuses.

Improve Accurate Additions While Reducing Fatigue and Errors

EZ Viewing Microplate Stand

Manual pipetting biological and hazardous samples into a microplate is safely carried out inside a hood. While laying flat on the surface of a hood, the microplate needs to be examined carefully by frequent viewing of emptied and filled wells during liquid transfers. It is often difficult to check each well's menisci level without getting user's head extended inside the hood and viewing the microplate directly above. The EZ Viewing Microplate Stand is designed to allow the microplate to be tilted and viewed at a comfortable angle preset by the user. The angular presentation of the plate will improve the accuracy and reduce the errors of additions.

Enhanced Microplate View Stand


(HS 1996)

A magnifying mirror (x2), positioned beneath a top plate (for holding samples plate), can be tilted to an angle so as to allow for easier viewing of each well (through the reflection of a mirror image).

Find Mixing and Centrifuging Samples Time Consuming and Fatiguing?
Why Not Use the EZ Sample Preparer to Accomplish Both Tasks Efficiently?

EZ Sample Preparer

The EZ Sample Preparer is designed to allow fast mixing and centrifuging samples prior to high throughput robotic or manual pipetting using 8 - 13 mm o.d. tubes. The EZ Sample Preparer consists of a carrier with two handlers and six square-shape racks in a 4 x 4 format. The errors caused by fatigue and operator's mistakes during the sample mixing and centrifugation procedures can be eliminated by using this well indexed and marked organizer. The equal spacing between the same rack or the adjacent racks permit the utilization of any robotic workstation equipped with either 4- or 8-channel probes. The EZ Sample Preparer is manufactured of aluminum to allow vigorous vortex-mixing, and liquid level sensibility of any robotic liquid handling system.

Want to Increase Sample Throughput and Maximize Laboratory Productivity?
But No Capital Budget for Robotic Liquid Handler or No Time for Setting Up Robotic Workstation?
 


HexSol Bottletop Dispenser

This system delivers liquid into 4-, 8- or 12-wells simultaneously. By switching the rotary valve, up to 6 different solvents can be selected and transferred to 24-, 48- or 96- well collection plates, solid phase extraction plates, or combinatorial reaction vehicles. Repeats of incorrectly filled plates and pipetting errors are significantly reduced.
(HS 1000)


UniSol Bottletop Dispenser

For single solvent, a bottletop dispenser can be attached to a 4-, 8- or 12-channel manifold
with a delivery line for performing the repetitive liquid transfer tasks.
(HS 10)


Multi-Channel Manifold

When manifold is attached to a standard repeater or syringe repeater, these systems can repetitively dispense a specified and equal volume of liquid aliquots with minimal need for refilling and finding location of the wells. (This is the same product formerly known as the Stream Splitter).

Repetitive Pipetting of Scintillation Cocktails Can Be Tedious and Fatiguing.
Why Make It More Difficult Than It Needs To Be?


High Throughput Cocktail Dispensers


The scintillation cocktail dispensers are designed to allow pipetting either by 4 channels or by 96 channels for convenient high throughput dispensing of viscous scintillation cocktails. The cocktail dispensers consist of a chemically resistant bottletop dispenser ( 25 - 100 ml ), a drip stand, and either a 4-channel or 96-channel manifold. Any scintillation vials ( 20, 7, 6 ml ) can be used. Combination of the dispenser and a 96-channel manifold can simplify all the dispensing work with microtiter plates used in molecular biology, immunology, genomics, clinical and pre-clinical drug metabolism fields.
(HS 2002)


The Excellent Choice for High Throughput Dispensing of Solutions into Containers
in the Microtiter Plate Format

96-Channel Dispenser

Pipetting liquid solutions or reagents into all wells of 96 microtiter spaced containers simultaneously is definitely faster than liquid transfers performed 4, 8, or 12 at a time. The 96-channel bottletop dispenser is a specially designed tool that provides fast, repetitive dispensing of microliter to milliliter volumes into 96-well containers at one time. The 96-channel bottletop dispenser consists of a 96-channel manifold, a large volume (25 - 100 ml ) bottletop dispenser, and an adjustable base/stand. It is compact and easy to use. It is the perfect solution for laboratories that conduct manual repetitive liquid dispensing into microtiter spaced containers.

Eliminate the Fatigue and Errors Involved During High Throughput
Manual Sample Preparation of 96-Well Plates

Microplate Orientation ( 96-Well Plate Column Indexer )

The Column Indexer is designed to allow addition by column to a 96-well plate again by the
stepwise movement of the base. Both plate indexers are manufactured of aluminum and
Teflon coated to allow smooth stepwise movement of the base.
(HS 60A)

 

Clean and Faster Extraction Than Conventional Liquid Liquid Extraction
( 96-well or 48-well Diatomaceous earth plate )


FastLut Plates

FasLut plates are either 48-well or 96-well plates packed with diatomaceous earth materials to allow high throughput extraction of organic compounds. Tedious and time consuming steps such as mixing, centrifugation, and organic phase separation generally used in liquid liquid extraction are eliminated. Compatibility with robotic liquid handler is an additional advantage.

SPE 96-well plates are packed with silica based sorbents that resist occlusion by proteins from samples.
Non-occlusion of sorbents, combination of size exclusion and adsorption chromatography allows flow
characteristics, enhanced detection, and cleaner extracts. The 2.2 mL/well SPE plates manufactured
from virgin medical grade polypropylene have the SBS standard footprint.

Make Capping and Decapping Screw Tops A One Handed Task


Capitator

 

The Capitator is a uniquely designed tool that increases productivity and relieves discomfort and fatigue associated with repetitive capping/decapping operations. It is inexpensive, easy to use and compact enough to fit inside a fume hood; the perfect solution for laboratories that open and close threaded neck vials, test tubes, and bottles. The Capitator unscrews a cap, holds it while the container is being processed, and then recaps the container, therefore it eliminates both the risk of contamination and the need for using both hands to accomplish the task.

Automate the task of Capping and Decapping
 

Adjustable-Gripper Decapping/Capping Screw Tops ( ¾ View )



Adjustable-Gripper Decapping/Capping Screw Tops ( Front View )

Description of Equipment:
  • A group of four racks would be placed on the machine at one time to allow a ninety-six (96) tube run. There are 24 tubes in each rack (4x6 format).
  • The cap retainer - adjacent to the machine rack - holds 96 caps.
  • Each tube with the cap will be removed from the rack and placed in a capping/decapping station. After cap removal and storage in the cap rack, the vial would be picked up and placed back in the rack in its original position. For capping, each tube will be picked up and capped with its original cap.
  • The machine would be controlled by a PLC with servo motor driven X-Y axis and air for gripping the caps, tubes and raising and lowering the Z axis.
  • Power requirements are 120 Volt AC and air at 90 PSI.
  • The machine includes two sets of racks for the tubes and two cap storage racks.
