Chapter 1 Introduction; Key Features - Accuris AutoMATE 96 Operation Manual

The AutoMATE™ 96 from Accuris Instruments is a fully automated, high
throughput liquid handling workstation that improves productivity when filling
microplates. Capable of dispensing up to 96 channels simultaneously, the
AutoMATE 96 significantly reduces the processing time and errors associated
with manual pipetting.
The included tablet features an intuitive app for programming and operation.
Unlike many 96-well pipetting stations, the AutoMATE 96 is "hands-free", with
motorized tip loading/ejection and a four position, automated, sliding platform
that precisely aligns the tips with the appropriate microplate/reservoir. Once
programmed, the instrument can run protocols to completion without any
manual positioning or adjustment.
Three interchangeable heads allow for a pipetting range from 1.0µL to
1000µL. The AutoMATE 96 is compact enough to fit onto a standard lab bench
or into a biosafety cabinet.
