Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced the CV2000 automated aliquoting liquid handler.
The CV2000 can accurately dispense liquid volumes from 100-875uL and process up to 1,000 samples per hour.
With its robotic arm and rotary height sensors, it can fit into automated workflows to boost sample throughput.
The system is claimed to be compatible with a wide variety of sample management software, but can also be used as a standalone instrument.
According to Thermo Fisher Scientific, the system effectively manages samples to boost efficiency and productivity with zero cross-contamination.
Fully compatible with multiple rack formats, the CV2000 system allows users to change the loading and dispensing routine.
A tip-preservation system allows the instrument to only discharge used tips, reducing waste while eliminating contamination.
Capable of holding up to 300 samples and accommodating both 45 and 90 mL urine containers, the system can automate the process of aliquoting urine from primary samples to analyser racks.
The CV2000 system creates a batch report that is compatible with downstream analysis instrumentation, which is used to process the urine samples.
