Agilent AssayMAP Bravo Protein Sample Prep Platform Liquid Handler Unit 3

The Agilent AssayMAP Bravo Protein Sample Prep Platform Liquid Handler Unit 3 is a precision automated liquid handling system specifically engineered for protein and peptide sample preparation workflows in proteomics and biotherapeutic development. Equipped with a 96-channel AssayMAP pipetting head, it enables accurate liquid transfers up to 250 µL, facilitating automated protein purification, enzymatic digestion, and cleanup using modular AssayMAP microchromatography cartridges.

Key technical features include:

• Multi-channel pipetting head (AssayMAP 96AM) with disposable tip-capability to minimize cross-contamination, essential for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
• Integrated temperature-controlled on-deck incubation (Inheco Single TEC Control) and shaking module for optimized assay reaction conditions including enzymatic digestion and protein enrichment protocols.
• Automated microwash station to ensure precise and efficient cleaning of pipette tips during high-throughput operations.
• Gripper arm for seamless plate and labware transfer, supporting both plate-to-plate and reservoir-to-plate liquid handling.
• Fully programmable protocols managed via Agilent VWorks software (version 13.1), enabling customization for complex biomanufacturing and synthetic biology sample prep assays.
• Modular cartridge compatibility supports various biochemical applications such as phosphopeptide enrichment (IMAC), glycoprotein enrichment, antibody purification (Protein A/G), and C18 desalting.

This platform is widely adopted in clinal diagnostics, biomarker discovery, and molecular biology research environments requiring reproducible and scalable protein sample preparation with reduced variability. It supports key biotechnological applications including gene editing validations, biopharmaceutical production pipelines, and advanced fluorescence-based proteomic assays.

Additional capabilities:

• Available options for custom dispensing heads, magnetic extraction, vacuum applications, and extended method development support.
• Preventive maintenance and Artel MVS volume verification services ensure consistent volumetric accuracy and pipetting precision critical for regulated laboratory environments.
• Supported by technical consultation, extended warranty options, and installation/training services to guarantee integration success in biotechnology and clinical labs.

This system’s compact footprint optimizes lab space usage while fulfilling demanding protein sample prep requirements in automated liquid handling workflows, making it an essential tool for contemporary biotechnology, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics research sectors.
