The Lynx Series Liquid Handling Robot's new 96 VVP head with Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) offers the first air based 96 head with verified individual volumes in each channel. VVP implements real-time liquid handling feedback through the use of in-line flow sensors that exactly measure the volume of liquid being aspirated/dispensed in the tip. The actual volumetric measurement accommodates for liquid viscosity and temperatu…

The timsMetabo™ is uniquely designed to deliver unprecedented sensitivity, separation power and annotation confidence for small molecules. Bruker’s technology and workflow innovations combine depth and selectivity for the ultimate in profiling and targeted applications.

The RLA 2 Series mobile robot can be remotely controlled to traverse inclines and advanced obstacles, including confined spaces, ramps, elevators, doors, and gates. Capable of independent operation, the Mobile Robot can also be configured to work as part of a fleet.

The RLA 3 Series is a lab track system that allows safe and efficient worker, robot collaboration. This lab assistant robot is trackmounted, and has extensive working reach over extended platforms with track lengths up to 7 metres available. Able to quickly traverse over ±360°, and across linear motion axis’, linear robot tracks are a space-saving way to efficiently manage complex workflows that involve numerous devices in a c…

The RLA 4 Series features a central robot integrated with a portable cart system for streamlined operations that can be adapted to your laboratories changing needs. The workcell integrates with a central control system for energy and communication connections, from which individual workspaces with instruments, storage, and PC equipment can be set up.

Automated filtration and filling system designed to accurately and aseptically aliquot bulk product into multiple biocontainer bags or bottles.

A 48 um soft non-permeable aluminum foil sealing film with 30 um layer of strong acrylic adhesive. FoilSealTM sealing foils remove cleanly from plate surfaces with no adhesive stringing, residue or contamination. Each sealing foil measures 78.3 x 129 mm and offers sufficient sealing area for all plate types (e.g. flat top and raised-rim). Chamfered corners result in no plate overhang for robotics applications. Features one end…

The encapsulated silicone adhesive is non-tacky until pressed against the sealing surface, at which time adhesive is released only in sealing areas to form the strongest available heat-resistant seal around each well on the plate. Adhesive on non-sealing areas of the film, such as directly over sample wells, remains encapsulated and inert. Excel ThermalSeal RTS films are sized to fit within the edges of raised-rim 96-well plat…

X-PierceTM sealing films are 89 µm thick vinyl with a 18 µm thick adhesive layer, designed for temporary protection from contamination and evaporation for samples in 96-well plates. A precut "X" over each well creates four flaps that easily bend downward when pushed by a robotic probe or pipet tip, allowing sample access without coring or adhesive fouling. A thin adhesive layer and special hairline cuts separating the X-Pierce…

A 140 µm thick hydrophobic porous rayon sealing film including medical-grade adhesive for tissue culture plates, bio-blocks, and 96-well plates where gas exchange is necessary for cell or bacterial growth. AeraSeal sealing films minimize cross-contamination, spillage and evaporation. They allow uniform air and CO2 exchange for all wells, unlike plate lids which favor exchange for wells near the plate edges. Dimensions: 82.6 by…

Excel Scientific's unique SealMate™ system provides a convenient new method for sealing standard-format microplates with adhesive films. The system includes a molded polypropylene dispenser with a hinged “clamshell” design and sealing films supplied in a novel sheeted-roll configuration.Features:environmentally friendly green product: no protective backing to remove and discardconvenient, easy film application for microplatest…

Excel Scientific now offers adhesive sealing films on Roll-Seal™ rolls for use with high-throughput automated microplate sealers. Film rolls, constructed on three-inch-diameter plastic cores, are compatible with most common adhesive sealers (Brandel, Thermo-Fisher/Abgene, FluidX, KBiosystems). The Roll-Seal format provides reliable and efficient sealing at a lower cost per plate with minimal user intervention. Robust static-fr…

SealPlate® 50 µm thickness polyester sealing films minimize evaporation, prevent spillage and contamination between wells, and provide a secure seal, not just a cover. Secure sealing of all wells eliminates "edge effects" in sensitive ELISA assays. SealPlate sealing films can also be used with tissue-culture plates for short-term storage, incubation, and containment of biohazards. SealPlate sealing films are non-pierceable. Ea…

SealPlate® MiniStrips™ sealing films are identical to SealPlate films, but designed for sealing only one or two 8-well rows at a time on either strip-well or standard plates whenever rows must be selectively protected or accessed. Each MiniStrips film is 19.0 x 102.9 mm, including two positioning tabs. The long dimension with the tabs removed is 82.6 mm. MiniStrips are supplied in sheets of four from which strips can be peeled…

SealPlate® ColorTab™ adhesive sealing films consist of 50 µm thickness clear polyester. They minimize evaporation, prevent spillage and contamination between wells, and provide a secure seal for ELISA, EIA, and similar assays. These unique sealing films include a color dot and white writing area on each end tab for plate ID labeling. End tabs with backing removed adhere to the ends of the plate and are perforated so they can b…
