Very efficient, most heavily used piece of equipment in our lab
Early drug discovery, tissue culture
The apricot is a very efficient tool for us. We work with high throughput 384 well low volume plates that don't leave a lot of room for error when handling. Using the apricot for media changes and other aspects of cell culture cut down our wet lab time tremendously and make our treatments much more consistent than they would be by hand. The apricot is our most heavily used piece of equipment in our lab.

Created many many reformatting and extraction protocols.
RNA Extraction
In the start of the pandemic PP5+1 saved the day! It is easy to create reproduce-able results. I created Covid extraction protocols with this instrument “6 PP5+1” paralleling the process allowing lab staff to easily run RNA extractions and get the same results every time. With the open platform it makes it intuitive to control the throughput. It can handle higher throughput or partial allowing us to keep one instrument for all our needs.

The apricot PP5 brings together the functionality of several pipettors into one space-saving instrument suited for both production and laboratory environments. Its accurate, reliable and repeatable automation minimizes repetitive tasks and eliminates pipetting errors to increase productivity. The intuitive interface, compact 5 plate position automated deck and optional active tip wash or reagent reservoir station simplify and significantly speed up multi-step liquid handling processes.
Features and benefits of the apricot PP5
- 5 linear stations, plus 1 tip wash/reservoir station
- 1, 8, 12, 16, 24, 96,384 channel pipetting
- Multiple pipetting heads of various formats on deck
- High-precision pipetting heads are independent of pipetting mechanism
- On the fly tip changes with EZ-Load tip technology
- Intuitive iPad® controller is easy to use
- Also, available with PC software controller
- Microplate stacker and robotics readily integrates into an automation work cell integrated tip washing system
- Small footprint maximizes bench space and fits in most standard hoods
EZ-Load technology
EZ-Load technology simplifies semi-automated pipetting with disposable tips without the need for any additional tools or fixtures for loading or unloading. The EZ-Load tips simply drop directly into the head and are ready to use in seconds. The upward clamping force onto the EZ-Load head, whether done with an easy manual lever or with a motorized clamp, will provide a simple and consistent seal which is required for the best pipetting results.
