Formulatrix Tempest Nanoliter Liquid Handler with Microplate Stacker and Pump Box 2.1
Product Description
The Formulatrix Tempest Liquid Handler (Version 3.1) is a high-precision automated system designed for nanoliter-scale multichannel reagent dispensing into SBS-format microplates. It features integrated microfluidic diaphragm dispense chips capable of non-contact dispensing with volumes starting at 200 nL and no upper limit, ensuring minimal reagent waste crucial for molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing workflows.
Key Technical Specifications:
- Microplate compatibility: Supports 24-, 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates including flat, round, and V-bottom types, as well as deep well blocks due to upgraded plate clearance.
- Dispensing capacity: Equipped with 12 high-volume microfluidic chips allowing independent control of up to 96 dispense outputs simultaneously for complex biochemical assay setups.
- Dispense rates: Rapid dispensing across volumes from 200 nL to 20 µL, e.g., ~3 seconds per 200 nL dispense into a 96-well plate, optimizing throughput for high-throughput screening (HTS) and next generation sequencing (NGS) library preparation.
- Automation features: Integrated microplate stacker accommodates up to 24 SBS plates with bidirectional plate cycling, facilitating seamless automated workflows for assay development and cell-based assays.
- Fluidic control: The Formulatrix Pump Box 2.1 ensures self-contained, reliable pressure and vacuum management essential for consistent fluid handling in complex biomanufacturing and synthetic biology protocols.
- Software integration: Delivered with Tempest v3.1 software, enabling robust system control, channel programming, and barcode scanning for sample traceability and experimental precision.
Robustness and Application Suitability:
The system’s mechanical stability and precise multi-axis motion control allow it to meet stringent requirements in molecular biology research, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) workflows (real-time and digital), bead-based assays, and other biotechnology applications. Its capacity to dispense beads and cells broadens its utility in advanced cell culture and biomedical engineering studies.
Operational Highlights:
- Independent channel clog detection and self-cleaning wash capabilities maintain uninterrupted operation.
- Minimal dead volumes of <40 µL for microfluidic chips and <100 µL for pipette tips protect reagent conservation.
- Compact footprint (55.5 x 32.5 x 26.5 cm) and moderate weight (~11.5 kg) facilitate laboratory integration without sacrificing performance.
- Compatible power requirements (100–240 VAC, 50–60 Hz) enable global deployment.
This liquid handling solution is widely adopted in HTS, molecular cloning workflows, and synthetic biology research, serving as a critical tool for researchers in clinical diagnostics, biochemical assay development, and biopharmaceutical production pipelines. Its advanced features and automation compatibility make it an essential platform for accelerator-driven bioprocessing and gene editing experimentations.
