Spend more time on your research… AutoMATE your pipetting.

The AutoMATE™ 96 from Accuris Instruments is a fully automated, high-throughput liquid handling workstation that improves productivity when filling microplates. Capable of dispensing up to 96 channels simultaneously, the AutoMATE 96 significantly reduces processing time and errors associated with manual pipetting.

The included tablet features an intuitive app for programming and operation. Unlike many 96-well pipetting stations, the AutoMATE 96 is "hands-free", with motorized tip loading/ejection and a four-position, automated sliding platform that precisely aligns the tips with the appropriate microplate/reservoir. Once programmed, the instrument can run protocols to completion without any manual positioning or adjustment.

Three interchangeable heads allow for a pipetting range from 1.0µL to 1000µL. The AutoMATE 96 is compact enough to fit onto a standard lab bench or into a biosafety cabinet.

• Fast and accurate 96-channel pipetting
• Accepts 96/384 well microplates, PCR plates, and reservoirs
• Touch-screen tablet for programming & operation
• 4-position motorized platform
• Exchangeable pipette heads (1-20µL, 5-200µL, 100-1000µL)

Pipetting Modes

Standard Pipetting: Aspirating and dispensing reagents by hand is labor-intensive and error-prone. With the AutoMATE 96, reagents can be aspirated and dispensed automatically, ensuring accurate and precise transfer to and from microplates or reservoirs.

Multi-Dispensing (Repeat Pipetting): Continually filling microplates is a time-consuming process that can often result in hand fatigue. The Multi-Dispensing function automates and accelerates this process, reducing strain and fatigue.

Secondary-Dispensing (Plate Filling): Many protocols require filling a plate with multiple samples or reagents. The AutoMATE 96 automates this process and allows mixing steps for improved results.

Serial Dilutions: Performing serial dilutions manually can be error-prone. The AutoMATE 96 automates this process, eliminating errors and improving accuracy.

Mixing: Manual reagent mixing can be inconsistent. The AutoMATE 96 performs automated mixing with adjustable speeds for reproducible results.

Reverse Pipetting: When precise volume accuracy is critical, the AutoMATE 96's reverse pipetting mode improves accuracy for small biological fluid samples.

Softare and Programming

Two operating modes allow flexibility based on user preference:

Manual Mode: Perform operations quickly & efficiently by selecting individual functions.

Manual functions:

• Load tips
• Eject tips
• Aspirate reagents
• Dispense reagents
• Mix reagents
• Blow out reagents

Automated Program Mode: Create protocols with multiple steps in succession, allowing complex operations to be completed with a single touch.

Programmable steps:

• Load/Eject Tips
• Aspirate/Dispense reagents
• Perform serial dilutions
• Rinse tips
• Repeat a cycle
• Pause after a certain step

Broad Labware Compatibility: Compatible with all brands of microplates and reservoirs meeting SLAS/ANSI formats. Included plate adapters support 384-well microplates and PCR plates.

Fully Automated Tip Loading and Ejection: Motorized tip loading and ejection ensures hands-free, consistent tip placement across all 96 wells.
