The microplate deck also easily accommodates all the plates and reservoirs that are needed if your application includes complex liquid handling protocols. The CyBi? -Disk can be equipped with an additional pipetting head and modularly expanded with a rotating arm, transport systems and plate storage capacity. This instrument can also be seamlessly integrated with the CyBi-Robospense for efficient PCR work . CyBio2.JPG
Hamilton For routine extracts of metabolites from a variety of biologic samples. Metabolite extraction protocols often require low-temperature conditions, to minimize degradation of the metabolites. To create an automated solution for metabolite extraction, MéCour to customized a Hamilton Starlet robot to include deck positions chilled to -80 degrees Celsius. The MéCour unit maintains temperature very consistently and for long operating periods. The unit includes features that prevent condensation & therefore maintain a working environment that is ideally suited for our metabolite extraction methods. Automating this workflow is a challenging task that has already begun to deliver significant value.
Microlab Star Liquid Handling Workstations
The STAR line workstations are based on superior air displacement pipetting technology. This increases accuracy and repeatability while providing chain of custody with pipette condition monitoring and recording. Each workstation can be configured with multiple arms and each arm can be configured with multiple pipetting and labware gripping devices. Pipetting channels and labware grippers move independently of each other, supporting the use of a wide range of labware. The autoload option provides barcode tracking of samples, labware, racks and carriers. All workstation functions and integrated third-party devices are controlled by the Venus software.

Huber MeCour-Huber ULT
MeCour-Huber has designed systems with tolerances as tight as ± 0.1 °C. The MeCour-Huber ultra-low temperature cryostats are specifically designed to eliminate “edge-effect” and hot/cold spots ensuring precise and accurate temperature distribution across the working areas of the system. The superior performance of these thermal systems has been validated through a number of thermal mapping studies. Results of this testing under both static and ramping conditions are presented in the following figures.
MeCour-Huber ultra-low sample management systems will provide you with a powerful new tool minimizing adverse sample impact while increasing throughput. Whether you require a single or a hundred systems to provide temperature control to a few or dozens of samples, MeCour-Huber will work closely with you to provide the perfect solution(s) to meet your requirements.
