Liquid Handling
IntelliQube™ Liquid Handling
IntelliQube leverages best-in-class, multi-functional dispensing for high-speed liquid handling in 384- or 768-well Array Tape™. Precise sample dispensing into Array Tape is handled by an interchangeable CyBio® FeliX 96- or 384-channel pipetting head. Reagent dispensing is performed by the Dispense Jet, a 4-channel, non-contact dispense head that loads the assay mixtures required for your protocols. With CVs less than 5%, the liquid handling on the IntelliQube offers exceptional reproducibility and data quality.
Pipette Wash
The IntelliQube Pipette Wash system reduces tip waste and associated consumable costs. The Pipette Wash uses fluid agitation around the dispense tips to ensure complete interior and exterior cleaning of the tips, while a touch-off feature is used to counteract surface tension and remove residual droplets. Complete elimination of the wash basin contents after each wash cycle combined with the ability to incorporate a wash additive, such as bleach, ensures testing integrity and mitigates the risk of cross-contamination.
