Liquid Handling Module

The Liquid Handling module allows the automation of complex experiments that combine dye loading, media conditioning, compound addition, incubation, and stimulus addition. The Thermo Scientific Cellomics ArrayScan VTI with Liquid Handling Module provides a best-in-class automated solution for pharmacological studies of individual cell responses.

This module was designed to work with the Live Cell module, expanding the breadth of cell processes that can be monitored.  Full function aspirate, dispense and mixing are available from 4 deck locations, and the module is capable of single tip aspirate and dispense at any location, creating a highly flexible instrument.  Pipetting will not interfere with screening or multiple operator use. .

Compatible with 96 and 384 well plates, the module utilizes disposable tips with a dispense volume range of 3 – 200 µL, and an optional disposable tip wash, reducing the risk of cross contamination.

The Liquid Handling module is fully compatible with all ArrayScan models and seamless integration with the ArrayScan software provides full use of industry leading functionality such as intelligent acQuisition, multiple protocols and automated plate-handling.
