Key Features of PrepALL Automation System
The PrepALL Flexible Liquid Handling Platform is engineered to streamline intricate laboratory tasks while delivering enterprise-level performance at an affordable cost. Its compact design, occupying just 0.7 m², allows for easy integration into labs of any size or experience level.
Design and Usability
This versatile platform features 16 SBS deck positions, which can be expanded to 41 if needed. The high-precision pipetting capabilities of the PrepALL, which include 8 independent channels, support volumes ranging from 0.5 to 1200 µL. It boasts coefficients of variation of less than 3% for low volumes and below 1% for higher volumes, optimizing both accuracy and efficiency while minimizing waste.
Smart Features for Precision
The system also includes a plug-and-play setup, visual guidance for easy operation, and features such as automated consumables identification and position calibration, which ensure that it is user-friendly for both novice and experienced lab personnel. Furthermore, built-in sensors and data logging capabilities guarantee the reproducibility of results, a crucial aspect in scientific experimentation.
With its advanced vision-based AI, the PrepALL excels in applications including nucleic acid extraction and next-generation sequencing library preparation, making it an invaluable tool for researchers.
Smart 8: Elevating Lab Productivity
Alongside PrepALL, MGI presented the Smart 8, a widely regarded automation solution launched in the preceding year. This system integrates innovative technologies, such as smart gripping and AI-optimized pipetting. The Smart 8 enhances speed with cycle times that are 20% faster, crucial for applications like nucleic acid extraction, thereby significantly improving laboratory throughput.
Targeting Diverse Research Needs
The enhanced Smart 8 is tailored to meet the needs of various institutions, including universities and startups in the biotech and clinical fields. By significantly reducing the need for manual intervention, it accelerates the research process and allows researchers to concentrate more on data analysis rather than everyday lab tasks.
