Thermo Scientific Matrix Hydra II is a positive displacement, syringe-based liquid handling system that provides high-speed aspirating and dispensing of microliter and sub-microliter volumes into microplates, 96 samples at a time, to 96- and 384-channel labware. Compact, cost-effective, and easy-to-use, Thermo Scientific Matrix Hydra II dispenses volumes as low as 100nL with excellent precision and accuracy and offers the flexibility of use as either a bench-top liquid handler or as an integrated microplate dispenser.
Syringe-based automatic pipetting enables dispensing down to 100nL and a maximum syringe fill of 1000µL. Resin and bead solutions can also be pipetted accurately
Choice of (4) 96-format volume range syringe dispense heads allowing the Matrix Hydra II to be used with any microplate from 96 to 1536 wells, and any tube rack with a microplate footprint
Stepper motor technology enables precise movement of syringes as well as X/Y movement of microplates
Two-position plate stage option enables pipetting between two microplates, even with different well configurations
Configure via on-board LCD or graphical interface software for intuitive, easy programming with or without a PC
Robotic integration—OLE software package, RS232 port, and open pipetting platform enables easy integration
Excellent chemical compatibility—Glass syringe technology offers superior chemical resistance
Precise Speed Control
Aspirate and dispense speeds can be optimized and independently set based on fluid type or to facilitate optimal precision. Washing speed can also be adjusted to minimize the time to clean needles and syringes.
Programming Flexibility
The Matrix Hydra II can be programmed utilizing an easy-to-read, four-line LCD display, or with the intuitive drag-and-drop ControlMate software. ControlMate is the same software that is used on all Matrix automation platforms, and an available OLE package provides developers with an ActiveX automation interface.
Syringe/Needle Assemblies for Precise Low Volume Dispensing
Syringe barrels are made from the highest quality borosilicate glass for excellent chemical capability. The inner chambers are precision-machined and highly polished to ensure leak-free operation and each syringe tip features three points of sealed contact to ensure long-lasting performance. Depending on your application, the Matrix Hydra II is available with a choice of five different syringe barrel volumes and three different needle types:
Stainless Steel Needles:
The standard dispensing needles on a Matrix Hydra II, the needles are PTFE-coated on the exterior to ensure precise droplet formation
DuraFlex Needles:
Made of a flexible titanium alloy, these needles snap back to their original shape to help prevent damage to the needle or syringe during routine handling or inadvertent contact with a microplate. A proprietary fluoropolymer provides a hydrophobic surface to facilitate drop formation.
Resin/Bead Needles:
These wide-bore syringes are ideally suited to resist clogging when dispensing suspensions of resins or beads.
Applications
Any 96- or 384-channel low-volume positive displacement pipetting procedure
