Greetings to this NG. I work for a company that bought two Sciclone 3000 from what was then Zymark. They were then taken over by Caliper Life Sciences. I have...
Hello Vincent, The MP208 was a special development that was only sold a couple of times. I am not sure, if you can run it with the software for a MultiProbe...
0.5 ul to a dry plate is asking a lot of any general purpose liquid handler. Everything needs to be pretty near perfect for it to work well. What kind of...
I believe Bio-Rad has taken the MJ line. Try them ... From: lrig-discussion@yahoogroups.com [mailto:lrig-discussion@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Shigeshi...
Andrew, I am sorry to hear that you are not having a good experience with the Sciclones. Generally the Zymark / Caliper devices work extremely well. Let's...
Hi Andrew, Please contact me directly and I will be glad to arrange any support you may require. Regards, Kevin Keras - CaliperLS (formerly Zymark) ...
I agree with Peter, that dry spotting 0.5 ul is difficult. In addition to the pipetting advice provided by Kevin, I would add: On the aspirate more than you...
Lynn, 'spot on' advice! The protocol you suggest has worked for me in the past with +/- 5% CV with a Quadra equipped with a 384-well ficed head. The keys are...

Greetings, I have been a lurker on the site for a few years and I have found many of the comments I have read very beneficial. My laboratory would appreciate ...
Hello all, I don't wish to distract anyone from Theresa's question but a philosophical question came to mind. When I read Theresa's post I thought 'oh, someone...
David, In my opinion the liquid handlers are known as robots because they are built on gantry technology. They do serve multipurpose activities as they are ...
I'm always willing to pile it higher and deeper on philosophical questions, David. As a child of the 50's, raised on Asimov and Turing, I would only grudgingly...

Hi David, Having come from the industrial robot industry myself, I also found this odd. However, given that most liquid handlers are actually Cartesian ...
David, I think we have to get back to first principles here. The word "robot" as we all remember from our vocabulary classes was coined by the Czech ...
Hi All, Can anyone recommend a low profile sonicator that can easily fit on a Tecan/FX/MultiProbe deck and possibly be incorporated onto a Biotek Elx-405...
Here's my take on it - I read that a robot was set apart by at least some degree of artificial intelligence, even if that's only at the basic level of...

Oliver, Not sure I agree with your observation of the Mitsubishi robot arm...this device probably (not sure of the vintage) has servo motors that provide...
Hi Rich, Biotek has a new ultrasonic wash option for the ELx405. It probbably doesn't get you everything you want, but you'll be able to sonicate the washer...
There are lots of things to try. 1.) Reinstall the program with the target.dll. 2.) Assuming that the target.dll file is in place it may be present in multiple...
I, like Theresa, have lurked here for a fair while without posting. I was really interested by her questions regarding choices of liquid handlers since we are...
Fellow LRIG-ites (or is it LRIG-ers?), I sent a query along sometime back regarding ideal mixing conditions for 96- and 384-well plates. I got some good...

Dear John: I've had some experience using a TECAN Genesis 150 RSP with 8 standard probes for mixing liquids in 384 well microplates as well as 384 well PCR...
