New Deerac™ Q Rapidly Prepares 384-Well Genomic Assays

Labcyte Inc. announced the introduction of the new Deerac Q which integrates two distinct and necessary liquid handling systems into a single platform for preparing low volume genomic assays. By combining the proven Deerac magnetic feedback control (MFC) dispensing technology with a 96-channel pipettor with disposable tips, the Deerac Q saves time, reduces process risks, and eliminates the need to transfer plates between workstations.

According to Stephen Bates, Senior Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Support, "It takes less than 8 minutes to first reformat four (4) 96-well DNA plates into one 384-well plate and then add reagents. In the past, researchers used two completely different systems to accomplish these tasks. Our unique combination of a 96-channel head for DNA samples coupled with high-speed, low volume Deerac MFC technology for dispensing reagents provides a unique time- and cost-saving solution."
