Analytik Jena CyBio CyBi-Well Vario Automated Liquid Handler with Dual Pipetting Heads and Integrated Peristaltic Pumps

The Analytik Jena CyBio CyBi-Well Vario Liquid Handler is a versatile automated liquid handling system designed for high-throughput workflows in biotechnology, molecular diagnostics, and drug discovery. Equipped with two interchangeable pipetting heads — a 96-channel head capable of precise volume transfers from 5 to 250 µl in 0.1 µl increments, and a capillary head optimized for nanoliter pipetting of volumes from 50 to 1000 nl — it supports parallel pipetting across 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates.

Key technical features include:

• 96/250 µl Head: Parallel pipetting on 96 samples in microplates (96, 384), adjustable volumes with coefficients of variation (CV%) ≤2% for 10–25 µl and ≤1% for 25–250 µl.
• Capillary Head: Nanoliter dispensing optimized for DMSO solutions, featuring ceramic capillaries with fixed working volumes (50, 100, 250, 500 nl), parallel pipetting for 96 and 384 wellplates, with CV% ≤10% at 0.025–1.0 µl range.
• Four stacker positions including two integrated with peristaltic pumps and a dual peristaltic pump expansion module facilitate automated plate movement and fluid handling.
• A 5-position plate stage and multiple plate adapters enhance compatibility with deep and shallow well plates and various formats required in genomics, proteomics, and bioprocessing workflows.
• Wash station included for enhanced tip and head cleaning protocols, sustaining assay reliability.

This liquid handling platform is critical for applications requiring high precision and reproducibility, such as serial dilutions, assay plate preparation, compound screening, and nanoliter dispensing of volatile solvents in gene editing and synthetic biology. Its modular architecture and integration of peristaltic pumps make it ideal for complex biomanufacturing pipelines and molecular biology laboratories requiring scalable automation solutions.

The system passes comprehensive functional and mechanical tests conducted by certified technical teams, ensuring stable operation of plate stages, tip handling, pipetting accuracy, and stacker solenoid mechanisms. It is widely adopted in research environments emphasizing genomics, proteomics, clinical diagnostics, and biotechnology development.
