CyBi®-WellFlex vario

Combination of 3 different liquid handling tools

CyBi-WellFlex-vario

  • Extremely flexible through enormous volume spectrum
  • Combination of 1-, 8-, and multi-channel (96, 384) liquid handling tools in one system
  • Compact workstation
  • No teaching necessary - easy to use software
  • Outstanding cost performance ratio
  • Very high variability in performance of applications with requirements involving different volume ranges and pipetting methods
  • System can be expanded for future tasks
  • Large volume range that will always deliver optimized precision

The CyBi®-WellFlex vario combines three types of liquid handling tools in one compact workstation. The first element of the system is a choice of 9 different simultaneous pipetting heads with 96 or 384 channels and a volume range from 25 nL up to 250 µL. The heads can be exchanged easily and are the ideal tools for replication or reformatting of complete 96- to 1536-well microplates in a huge volume range. It is combined with the Flex Head, a flexible pipetting tool with a unique combination of 8 channels and a single channel, thus the tool of choice for either the preparation of dilution series or tube to plate transfer and hit picking.
The CyBi®-WellFlex vario workstation enables the complete automation of assays - from the set up of a master mix to the handling of large sample numbers, even of low volume compound samples.
The system consists either of a 4- or 5-position main plate carriage and a 1- or 3-place additional carriage with space for assay plates, stripe reservoirs, tubes, tip racks and tip wash stations. All assay protocols can be quickly and easily programmed with the CyBio® Composer software.
