Easy-to-use workstation combines liquid handling and microplate handling processes, enabling researchers to increase walk-away time
Caliper Life Sciences has introduced the Sciclone ALH 4000 liquid handling workstation.
Designed to increase productivity and accelerate research and drug discovery for biotech and pharmaceutical customers, the Sciclone ALH 4000 integrates an automated liquid handler with Caliper's industry standard Twister II microplate handler into one easy-to-use system.
By combining the liquid handling and microplate handling processes, Sciclone ALH 4000 enables researchers and scientists to avoid time- and labour-intensive repetitive tasks, thus increasing walk-away time.
Pre-programmed application templates for plate replication, serial dilution, assay set-up, hit picking and DNA/RNA/protein purification allow researchers and scientists to begin working with the Sciclone ALH 4000 immediately, and provide the flexibility to easily switch between applications without the hassle and complexity of programming.
"The Sciclone ALH 4000 provides labs of all sizes with access to compact, cost-effective solutions that automate time-consuming processes," said Mark Roskey, vice president of marketing at Caliper Life Sciences.
"In this industry, every moment counts.
"With Sciclone ALH 4000, researchers and scientists can spend more time focused on research rather than tedious, repetitive tasks that can easily be automated".
Caliper Life Sciences uses its advanced liquid handling and LabChip technologies to create leading edge tools that accelerate drug discovery, enable diagnosis of disease and facilitate scientific research.
Caliper headquarters are located in Hopkinton, MA, USA, with R and D, operations and manufacturing facilities for LabChip devices in Mountain View, CA, and direct sales, service and applications support throughout the world.
