PIPETMAX®

PIPETMAX

Maximize reproducibility of your biological sample prep
Manual sample preparation can often be inefficient, complex and time-consuming. This leads to increased training requirements, preparation time, procedural errors and operational costs. PIPETMAX is an easy-to-use, automated liquid handling platform than can solve these problems with automated sample preparation solutions. Unlike traditional automation platforms, PIPETMAX comes at a size and price that is accessible to any lab, and has a PIPETMAN inside!

PIPETMAX versatility:
  • Ideal for PCR, qPCR, cell-based assays, NGS prep, ELISA prep, tip-based sample prep and more in the same PIPETMAX
  • Handles various samples: cells in tissue culture, microorganisms, body fluids, tissues
  • Small reaction volumes
  • Many types of labware and devices: 96, 384-well microtitre, strip plate, cell culture formats – no special requirements or trays
  • PIPETMAN standards in reproducibility, precision and accuracy
  • Easy configuration and run with a simple, touchscreen interface
