Simplify ELISA plate preparation with PIPETMAN® M96, a motorized 96-channel electronic pipette. Designed for high-throughput accuracy, it enables uniform dispensing across entire microplates while reducing variability and operator fatigue. With programmable protocols, ergonomic design, and compatibility with standard tips and labware, PIPETMAN M96 brings speed, precision, and reproducibility to every ELISA workflow.
Automation doesn’t have to mean overhauling your entire workflow. This article explores how task-based automation helps laboratories automate specific steps, like plate setup, normalization, or sample preparation, to improve consistency, reduce errors, and scale workflows such as qPCR, NGS, and ELISA more efficiently.
To validate a novel, non-targeted diagnostic method for preeclampsia, researchers at UTCBS needed to process 263 clinical samples across 16,000+ wells. With PIPETMAX® 268, they successfully automated their liquid handling workflow, improving throughput, conserving sample volume, and enabling the statistical reproducibility necessary for meaningful machine learning analysis.
This application note outlines the automation of the Agencourt® AMPure® XP PCR purification system using Gilson’s PIPETMAX® 268. Designed to streamline PCR cleanup for next-generation sequencing workflows, the protocol uses SPRI magnetic beads to remove contaminants and isolate DNA fragments over 100 bp. The automated method improves reproducibility and throughput, processing up to 96 samples per run with a customizable magnetic bead separator. Applied to E. coli K12 gDNA libraries, the system produced high-quality fragments between 700–2000 bp with no contamination. The protocol is flexible, allowing users to adjust variables like reagent volumes, incubation times, and wash steps to fit diverse lab needs.
Normalization Assistant simplifies the creation of automated normalization protocols without the need for programming. Designed to support flexible workflows, it enables users to import and export sample data, perform QC checks, and configure normalization patterns tailored to a wide range of experiments. With intuitive setup and auto-generated protocols, it reduces manual entry errors and enhances reproducibility, allowing researchers to focus on their science and accelerate their results.
Discover how qPCR Assistant, paired with PIPETMAX® 268 and PIPETMAX® 278, simplifies automated qPCR setup for tens or hundreds of samples, with no programming required. Create singleplex or multiplex protocols, manage sample data with ease, and eliminate manual entry errors. With optimized plate setup, flexible automation, and support for various qPCR cyclers, this intuitive tool boosts reproducibility, traceability, and efficiency in your lab. Learn how to build and run your own workflows in minutes.
