I suggest you go to the Lab Robotics Interest Group presentation archives http://www.lab-robotics.org/meeting_presentations.htm and scroll down to the February...
Dear everyone! You may remember back in April my proposal for an ezine to carry articles on interesting applications or useful tips etc. I received so many...
We found the best results are to add cells with a Multidrop as other systems, at least in our hands even with slow aspirate and dispense speeds using wide-bore...
Hi Mike, Yes it was Staubli that gave me the idea to host any videos on youtube. Free bandwidth! So I am asking any contributers to take some video. Even a...
We have had no problems using a Tecan Evo150 with an MCA (96-channel head) with standard disposable 200 ul tips. This has worked well for us for a variety of...
There should be absolutely and only negligible differences between different robots if speed and tips are the same. Other parameters that might matter: volume...
Dear LRIGers, I would like to get some information on how people use 24- and 48-well microtiter plates. So here are my questions: 1. Plates of these types...

The 48 well plates we use are exactly same dimension as the 96well plates except the wells are larger, so more than one tip will go into each well. We use it...
Hi John, 24 and 48 well microtiter plates are also used in protein crystallography primary and secondary screening applications. The wells of the plate are...
It's been awhile since I have made a gratuitious product plug on this forum....so here is your chance to hit the delete key before you go any further. ;) ...
Hi I have a customer who if finding a high level of carry over for this compound in a liquid injection to a Mass Spec. They have replaced the Valco rotor...
Hello All, I am totally new to the world of grants and funding and I am looking for a little help. I work in a genomics core-lab and I'm looking to install ...

Hi Reed, We had exactly this situation with the first Zymark Benchmate. The compound of interest was sticking to the PEEK tubing and produced carryover in...
Kevin, That was good... I would guess the flow sensors on?Caliper Sciclone i1000 dispenser monitor the liquid volume (flow rate x time) before?the liquid...
 While PEEK is fundamentally a very chemically resistant material and works great in some application (i.e. Ion Chromatography) my experience with it over...
Dear Helaman, I am not a Biomek FX user, but have considerable experience with?automated fluid handling and specifically tip molding. I?was?an engineer on?the...
Hello! Sometimes it is required to crawl inside the machines and thigthen small screws. Does anyone know a source of Allan key smaller then 0.05"? Ciao Michael...
Kevin, Can you explain whether this technology simply monitors individual volumes or can in fact compensate based on this feedback? If it is about monitoring,...
It is also important to note that the Span-8 has liquid level sensing but the 96-head does not. Therefore, conductive tips are important for the Span-8 if...
About a year ago I posted a note about "Laboratory Automation Engineering" [LAE], and had good positive response. As a result we are redirecting the efforts...
You may want to consider trying Axygen tips. The tips they make are specifically designed to work with 96-channel and Span-8 pods. Their low retention tips...
Helaman, Here in my laboratory we use AP-96 tips in place of Span-8 tips regularly. There is a slight difference in the shank length. The Span-8 tips have a ...
Also, check out www.wihatools.com <http://www.wihatools.com/> . Besides .050 in., I see .035 in. and .028 in. listed. I've used Wiha tools for many years....

Hi all, I am working with a Tecan Freedom EVO and am seriously struggling finding a way to set the speed at which the tips enter a plate/labware. The liquid ...
