Hello, Here are a few tips: 1. AFAIK there is no such system to do what you wish. I guess the reason is that you would need separate syringe motors for each...
Hi V. Morgan, The previous response is correct in that the Hamilton STAR system can handle your process and has the ability to approach it in a variety of...
To your second question: Allmost any 4 or 8 tip liquid handler such as the CyBi®-RoboSpense can do it,, as long as the spacing of the channels can be at...
