BRAND Liquid Handling Station – Pipetting Robot

The BRAND Liquid Handling Station is a laboratory pipetting robot that bridges the gap between manual single- and multi-channel pipettes and complex high-throughput workstations. It offers a cost-effective entry point into laboratory automation, even for small and mid-sized sample volumes. Applications: PCR and qPCR (accurate pipetting of small volumes for reproducible results), ELISA (automated dilution series), enzyme assays (pipetting, mixing and incubation time definition), cherry-picking, preparation of assay-ready plates, serial dilutions, replication of microtiter plates (96/96 and 384/384), reformatting (96/384 and 384/96), cell culture and general liquid transfers in single vessels, strips and plates in ANSI/SLAS format. The work table provides 8 work positions (P1 for waste box, P2–P8 freely assignable). Liquid Ends are based on Transferpette® S technology and available as single-channel (SC: 1–50 µl, 10–200 µl, 40–1000 µl) and 8-channel (MC: 1–50 µl, 20–300 µl, 40–1000 µl) versions for contact-free liquid delivery, volume-tested per ISO 8655-6. Module changes take seconds and require no tools. The intuitive control software enables method creation in minutes without programming knowledge. Available commands: Transfer (multidispensing, serial dilutions, pooling), Mix, Wait and Break. 3D simulation and automatic procedure logging support traceability and run-to-run reproducibility.
