Overview The Mini Bot series are rugged, compact, well engineered table top units for routine or special application lab work. The Mini Bot 16 has 8 plate positions and can store up to 60 plates on deck. It can also transfer plates to tandem units for multiple processing in more complex procedures. It comes standard with a 96 Channel (optional 384), 8 Channel and Single Channel air displacement pipettors, with disposable tips, that operate simultaneously for high throughput processing. The 8 or Single Channel can also come with fixed tips and liquid displacement pumps, either annular gear or ptfe valved syringe pumps, for filling operations from remote reservoir(s). The 8 plate rotating table is mounted on an orbital vortexor (optional) for mixing in between serial dilutions. 96 channel pipettor can pipette into quadrants for 384 well plates with assist of vortexor. There are 3 models to suit the price and needs of the individual lab.
