Rainin BenchSmart 96 Semi-Automated Pipetting System
BenchSmart 96™ is a semi-automated 96/384-well pipettor with three interchangeable pipetting heads, giving it a range of 0.5 μL to 1000 μL. The touchscreen display controls aspiration, dispense, tip loading and ejection. Pipetting modes include Basic, Advanced, Dilute, Multi-dispense, Reverse, Volume Sequencing, Mix and Cycle Count.
The Rainin BenchSmart™ 96 delivers the precision and reproducibility of automated liquid handling with the speed and flexibility of a manual system.
- Maximum flexibility - With three quick-change pipetting heads, BenchSmart is a highly versatile and useful laboratory assistant. The 0.5-20 μL head provides excellent range at smaller volumes, the 5-200 μL head suits most day-to-day work and the 100-1000 μL head is perfect for sample preparation and cleanup.
- High reliability - For complex protocols and precise liquid handling, nothing beats automation for accurate and consistent aspiration and dispensing. Add BenchSmart’s industry-leading specifications and extraordinary ease of use, and you can expect higher reliability and repeatability for your experiments.
- Greater efficiency - BenchSmart’s wide range of application modes - from basic pipetting to advanced features like multi-dispense - make programming a snap. The large touchscreen and intuitive interface make it easy to design, execute and save any protocol, from simple one-step procedures to complex, multi-step experiments.
- Simplicity - BenchSmart is so intuitive, anyone in the lab can use it. The four-plate layout also simplifies workflows by reducing, if not eliminating, the need to swap out tips and reservoirs. For example: a two-solution protocol requires just four liquid handling steps with BenchSmart vs. nine steps on a two-tray system.
