Multi-functional mechanical arm

XYZ axis 3D structure, with multi-functional mechanical arm, positioning accuracy up to 0.1mm, which can meet the precise positioning of the pipette heads in the 96-well plate and the 384-well plate, and accurately grasp/move/drop the plate each time.

Automatically change the pipetting heads

The pipette precision is reliable and efficient with air displacement. The barrel of pipetting heads use high hardness, light alloy material with wear-resistant coating on the surface, which is not easy to be damaged in long-term use

Heating & shaking module

It integrates heating and shaking functions into one, makes effective deck space, and meets the application requirements of shaking and heating at the same time.

Deck layout

12 standard bases, combined with a variety of functional modules to meet different applications. The compact design fits more functionality into less space. The deck layout is flexible for the functional modules with difference structure.

Software

Visual interface, display deck layout when the program is running; Sequential programming, simple operation; The software is open and flexible, suitable for various applications, and can customize program parameters according to the special needs of customers.

Fully automatic PCR module

It’s the unique super-conducting thermal VCM® module from Inheco Company ODTC®. The heating performance is optimized, the temperature in all wells is consistent at all times. Temperature uniformity error between wells is within +/ -0.2k at 55 ° C, 72 ° C and 95 ° C. Horizontal removable cover seal prevents accidental infection of ODTC® instruments and completely avoids cross contamination. With flexible applications, ODTC® can meet the requirements of repeated heating and cooling required in any molecular biological workflow, and prevent the evaporation of reagents during this process, such as NGS library preparation, Sanger sequencing, any experiments with temperature change flow, various enzyme reactions, hybridization, etc.

Blood component recognition module

With one-dimensional/two-dimensional code scanner, it’s convenient for sample information tracking to avoid human input errors, supporting EXCEL sheet import and export. CCD high-definition imaging technology was adopted to automatically identify the buffy coat, separate the upper serum components without white blood cells. 24 blood samples were processed each batch, with different pipette heads to meet the requirements of different volumes transfer.

Triple temperature control module

It’s a low-cost triple closed cavity module. Chamber 2 is at room temperature, the temperature of chamber 1 can be controlled at 6℃ to room temperature, and the temperature of chamber 3 can be controlled at room temperature to 110℃. Moreover, it is a closed chamber with small temperature fluctuation. This module used for temporary storage of enzyme reagents in chamber 1, volatile substances such as alcohol or light -avoiding reagents in chamber 2, incubation of enzyme reaction in chamber 3. It’s not only reduce the equipment cost, and also realize the fully automatic process for certain biological experiments.
