Accepts 96/384 well microplates, PCR plates and reservoirs
Touch-screen tablet for programming and operation
4-position motorized platform
Exchangeable pipette heads
The AutoMATE™ 96 from Accuris Instruments is a fully automated, high throughput liquid handling workstation that improves productivity when filling microplates. Capable of dispensing up to 96 channels simultaneously, the AutoMATE 96 significantly reduces the processing time and errors associated with manual pipetting.
The included tablet features an intuitive app for programming and operation. Unlike many 96-well pipetting stations, the AutoMATE 96 is “hands-free”, with motorized tip loading/ejection and a four position, automated, sliding platform that precisely aligns the tips with the appropriate microplate/reservoir. Once programmed, the instrument can run protocols to completion without any manual positioning or adjustment.
Three interchangeable heads allow for a pipetting range from 1.0µL to 1000µL. The AutoMATE 96 is compact enough to fit onto a standard lab bench or into a biosafety cabinet.
Pipetting Modes:
Standard Pipetting: Aspirating and dispensing reagents by hand is labor-intensive and error prone. With the AutoMATE 96, reagents can be aspirated and dispensed automatically, ensuring accurate and precise transfer to and from microplates or reservoirs.
Multi-Dispensing (Repeat Pipetting): Continually filling microplates is a time-consuming process that can often result in hand fatigue. With the Multi-Dispensing function, repeatedly filling microplates can be automated and accomplished quickly without introducing hand strain or fatigue.
Secondary-Dispensing (Plate Filling): Many protocols and applications call for filling a plate with multiple samples or reagents. With the AutoMATE 96, multiple reagents can be aspirated and dispensed into the same microplate. For improved results, each dispense can be programmed to be include a mixing step.
Serial Dilutions: Performing serial dilutions via manual methods is labor-intensive and error prone. Errors in this process will amplify subsequent dilutions as the process continues. With the AutoMATE 96, serial dilutions can be performed automatically and error free.
Mixing: Mixing reagents by hand is strenuous and can be inconsistent. With the AutoMATE 96, mixing can be performed automatically with adjustable speeds, ensuring consistency.
Reverse Pipetting: When the accuracy of pipetting volume is critical, the AutoMATE 96 can be set to reverse pipetting mode. This technique greatly improves accuracy &precision with small volumesof biological fluids.
Software and Programming
Two operating modes are available and can be selected per the user’s preference.
Manual Mode: Perform operations quickly & efficiently simply by selecting each function individually.
Automated Program Mode: Create a protocol made up of multiple steps in succession. This interface allows for complex protocols to be run from tip-loading through completion with the touch of a button.
Programmable steps: • Load/Eject Tips • Aspirate/Dispense reagents • Perform serial dilutions • Rinse tips • Repeat a cycle • Pause after a certain step
Broad Labware Compatibility: All brands of microplates and reservoirs meeting SLAS/ANSI formats are compatible for use with the AutoMATE 96. Included plate adapters allow 384 well microplates and PCR plates to be used.
Fully Automated Tip Loading and Ejection: Motorized tip loading and ejection provides handsfree, consistent tip loading throughout all 96 wells.
All products are manufactured from the finest raw materials using precise production techniques that provide consistent quality performance. All primary products are made from virgin polymers and contain no recycled, reprocessed, or altered plastics that might introduce contamination or defects.
Every lot of each product can be traced to the corresponding raw materials and production date. In addition to continual in-process control monitoring, all product lots are sampled after packaging and tested in our quality control laboratory as well as independent laboratories. The result is a contaminant-free product of highest quality.

Aspirates and Dispenses liquid Samples with the Touch of a Button
Labnet's Excel Electronic Pipettes are multifunctional units with operational modes for standard and reverse pipetting as well as multiple and sequential pipetting, mixing of samples and serial dilutions. All functions are easily programmed with one hand on the well positioned display and keypad. A fully motorized piston drive and auto-calibration guarantee excellent accuracy and reproducibilty. A removable, rechargeable Lithium-ion battery ensures many hours of performance between charges.
Rechargeable Electronic Pipette Operation
The body of the Excel electronic pipettes have been designed to fit comfortably in the right or left hand. Along with being lightweight, the unit is also well balanced. The plunger button, located on the back side of the instrument, requires just a small movement of the index finger to activate, reducing the risk of Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI). The pipette tip ejector slides easily with slight pressure from the thumb. A small, rechargeable, Lithium-ion battery powers the Labnet Excel electronic pipettes. A complete charge is achieved in just eight hours and last for 2000 pipetting cycles. To ensure that a fresh battery is always available, a stand alone charger and extra batteries are available. Also available is a 3 position linear stand for up to three single or multichannel pipettes and a carousel stand for up to six single or multichannel pipettes.
