Quad-Z 215 Liquid Handler with Disposable Tips

The addition of disposable tips to Gilson’s Quad-Z 215 Liquid Handler offers an important tool for molecular biology applications including DNA probes, PCR preparation, automated sample prep and electrophoresis. The disposable tips option increases throughput, efficiency and reproducibility, and lowers costs by automating manual pipetting procedures. Disposable tips also eliminate the problem of contamination from carryover and increase speed by eliminating wash steps.

Features & Benefits
  • A four-probe liquid handler with the capability of employing disposable tips eliminates the concern of contamination from carryover


  • Independent probes with variable horizontal spacing from 9 to 18 mm allows access to a wide range of tubes, vials and microplates


  • Accepts both 10 µL and 200 µL Gilson Diamond® Tips for a dispensing volume range of 1 to 200 µL


  • Independent syringe control allows independent volume transfer across all four tips at the same time


  • On-bed tip storage allows quick and easy access and pickup by the probes

Applications

  • Microplate reformatting and sample transfer between tubes and plates

  • Molecular biology applications, including DNA sequencing and plasmid purification, PCR preparation, automated sample prep and gel preparation for electrophoresis
  • Preparation of enzymatic reactions
  • Pharmaceutical preparation screening
  • Sample cleanup using ZipTips®

845ZPREP™ System
