These instruments transfer liquids from various sources to SBS-footprint plates. They deliver volumes with very low CVs and can be safely used with live cell cultures. Much of their operation can be controlled and monitored by the SoftLinx control software; however, each instrument also comes with their own software control. The Micro10x multichannel Dispensor comes with an LCD pad controller interface, and the SOLO comes with its own multifunctional Windows-based controller - SOLOSoft.
The Hudson SOLO™ is a low cost, high-throughput single-channel pipettor that can be programmed to do anything expected of a hand-held pipettor, with high accuracy down to 1 microliter. Equipped with a broad dynamic volume range and the ability to handle reactions in a sterile environment, the SOLO can be loaded and operated manually, but is also compatible with robot loading systems from most manufactures, including the Hudson PlateCrane EX.
Hudson's Micro10x™ Robotic Benchtop Dispenser provides a combination of fast filling speeds, high accuracy, and extreme flexibility ordinarily found only among large, expensive liquid-handling robots. The Micro10x accurately dispenses liquids in volumes down to the low microliter range, and is the only small dispenser capable of tip-touchoff to ensure a clean dispense of high surface-tension fluids. Its positive-displacement pump head is adjustable in increments of 10nL, and never requires recalibration.
