The World’s only Liquid Handler Offering Direct Volumetric Measurement of Each and Every Liquid Transfer:
- Lynx with award-winning Volume Verified Pipetting technology takes the guesswork out of automated 96, 24 & 8 multi-channel liquid handling, calculating in real-time the actual volume of fluid entering and leaving each and every tip. VVP supports LLD for any liquid type with ‘live’ pipetting Dx for ‘on-the-fly’ error recovery. A final QC validation report documents all pipetting events and verifies if automated methods were performed successfully
Classes Dismissed: - The World’s only Automated Liquid Handler that Lets You Skip Liquid Classes.
- With VVP technology, Lynx can pipette any liquid type – from organics to aqueous to complex mixtures without tedious optimization of parameters for each liquid type or volume range.
- Reduces validation efforts for assays and adoption of new protocols.
- Award-winning Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) technology represents the very latest in air-based 8, 24 & 96 multi-channel pipetting.
- The Lynx Liquid Handling Robotic Platform is designed to meet the current application needs of today’s life science laboratory. Volume Verified Pipetting (VVP) technology enables direct volumetric measurement of liquids entering and leaving each tip. A final validation report confirms all pipetting steps were executed properly.
No more liquid classes. VVP technology eliminates the need to establish optimal pipetting parameters for each liquid type. Now, validated reports are the standard, with actual volumes recorded for each aspirate/dispense activity. Reports are stored with other key tracking information (i.e. sample, tip and plate bar codes, reagent lot numbers).
Combine VVP technology with your choice of multiple deck sizes, Standard Volume (SV) syringe-based 96 & 384 pipetting tools, microplate gripper and vision scanning tools in virtually any combination to configure the ideal system for your application(s).
VVP Operating Principle - Aspiration and dispense of the liquid sample is driven by the precise control of vacuum and positive pressure. A volumetric liquid transfer is accomplished in each channel by the coupling of a solenoid valve to a silicon chip based MEMS flow sensor in a closed loop real time environment, where the actual flow rate of a liquid is monitored. This allows liquids with different physical properties to flow into/exit the tip while automatically accommodating for temperature and viscosity differences.
VVP Liquid Level Detection& Residual Volume
VVP technology also provides Liquid Level Detection (LLD) for each channel utilizing clear tips in both the 96 & 8 channel pipetting tools. The system creates an outward flow of air and monitors this airflow until a solid meniscus is detected. The Residual Volume within the well is then calculated based on the vertical height of the tip at the contact point with the solid meniscus and the well volume parameters.
Short Sample Diagnostics - Short sample or Air-In-Sample diagnostics is established by the monitoring of all channels with millisecond sampling analyzing the flow rate of the liquid into each tip. Any disruption of the samples flow rate by air entering a channel traps Short Sample Error. The end user may predetermine how to handle this Short Sample Error, including an on-the-fly retry of the aspiration, dispense all samples
Tracking Error Diagnostics - The Short Sample diagnostics technology is employed to verify that no air is aspirated as the Tip Tracking function is utilized. If the sample is aspirated faster than the tip tracks down, the Tracking Error is trapped for the individual channel.
