The Artel MVS now has a function to verify volumes of glycerol, ethanol and DMSO transferred from a liquid handling system or hand-held pipette to a microtiter plate.
The MVS (multi-channel verification system) is a system that provides accuracy and precision data documenting the volume dispense performance of each channel of an automated liquid handler.
Able to function within a volume range of 100nL to 50uL, the system provides automatic reporting of volume statistics on tip-by-tip and well-by-well bases within minutes of dispensing.
It can be fully integrated into existing automated quality control protocols and implemented by a technician of any skill level.
'The MVS is a reliable method to verify the performance of an automated liquid handler,' said Kirby Pilcher, president, Artel.
The MVS incorporates ratiometric photometry, a technology that uses the absorbance values of two dye solutions to calculate dispensed volume in each well of a microtiter plate.
It is portable and does not require rigorous environmental controls.
The system is compatible with 96-well and 384-well microtiter plates and can verify automated liquid handlers with one to 384 dispensing tips.
