Tip-based Automated Pipettor
8 Sept 2006
Matrix Technologies’ newest instrument, the Hydra DT, is a 96/384 channel pipettor with disposable tips. This compact bench top pipettor automates many routine pipetting tasks with the single press of a button and easily fits inside standard biological hoods.
Perform both 96 and 384 format sample transfers with the Hydra DT, as well as applications such as plate-to-plate stamping, plate filling from reservoirs, plate replication, and 96 to 384 reformatting. Tip changes require only one hand and five pounds of force with Matrix’s extensive line of D.A.R.T. ®s automation tips.
In addition, the optional Hydra® eDrop combines contact and non-contact dispensing technologies into one instrument and provides high-speed 96 and 384 simultaneous transfers of microliter and submicroliter volumes. The Hydra utilizes syringe-based contact dispensing in 96 or 384 format to transfer volumes between 0.1uL-100uL, while the eDrop dispense technology transfers precious samples via non-contact dispensing with a minimum volume of 0.1uL; minimizing risk of evaporation. This combination is the ideal solution for protein crystallography plate preparation, forensic genotyping, 96 and 384-format low volume PCR, and serial dispensing for dose response curves.

Hydra eDrop
Matrix Technologies Corp.Matrix Tech. Corp. introduces a single-channel, non-contact dispense system to the Hydra II line of automated pipettors. The eDrop nanoliter dispense technology is ideal for transferring precious samples via non-contact dispensing. This technology is the ideal solution for forensic genotyping, low volume PCR in 96 and 384 formats, preparing protein crystallography plates, and serial dispenses for dose response curves. The Hydra II is a positive displacement, syringe-based liquid handling system that provides high-speed aspirating and dispensing of microliter and sub-microliter volumes into microplates, 96 or 384 samples at a time.
