Product information
Overview
Product Features:
- Use Disposable or Fixed (washable) pipette tips without any hardware changes, thanks to the VersaTip™ technology
- Independent Z-axis (up and down) movement control, liquid level sensing and spanning Y-motion of the Varispan™ arm easily allow pipetting in labware such as tubes, microplates, deep well plates, troughs, and vials.
- Independent liquid level sensing, including aqueous, low or non-ionic polar solutions and solvents such as DMSO are possible with the patented Accursense™ technology.
Key Applications:
- Protein purification
- Master mix creation
- Nucleic acid isolation
- PCR
- ELISA
- Sanger
- NGS
- Cherry picking
- Plate arrays
- Plate preparation
- Normalization
- Nuclear testing
- Sample or reagent serial dilution
- DNA extraction from DBA
- LC/MS sample prep
These manual workflows, and many more, can be seamlessly automated on the Fontus 8i Mini workstation.
Software features:
The Fontus 8i Mini workstation has an intuitive user interface:
- WinPREP™ software and Application Assistant simplifies setup, method creation, and protocol execution. It enables real-time research monitoring, sample tracking, and device integration for automated workflows.
- Designed to adapt to labs’ evolving research needs, easy-to-use WinPREP simplifies modifying existing protocols or creating new ones without needing a programmer, reducing downtime and costs.
- Predefined labware definitions simplify assay set-up and enable labware definitions to remain independent of the position on the instrument.
- The performance file library offers optimized pipetting parameters and the ability to modify pump speeds, air gaps, waste and blowout volumes, and liquid delays.
Varispan™ Arm Options:
- Fixed Tips: regular and low volume and VersaTip sampling tip
- Disposable Tips: 20, 25, 50, 175, 200, 900, 1000, and 5000 μL tips available.
- Conductive (black) and clear, filter, non-filter, and sterile formats available
- Syringe volumes: 250, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000 μL
