Panther Pipettor System
The Panther pipettor system consists of the pipettor robot and the pipettor arms. It is
composed of dual arm sample and reagent pipettor probes with integrated air based
pipettor pumps. The Panther pipettor system aspirates and dispenses the sample and
reagents during assay processing.
