Description

The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has a requirement to obtain an automatic pipettor capable of processing multiples of 8 samples at a time, ranging from 16 (2x8) up until 96 (12x8). �The automatic pipettor system must have the unique versatility for rapid and smooth change of the interchangeable pipetting heads with either 8 EZ load tips or 96 EZ load tips. The loading of the tips must have a rapid tip loading mechanism that allows for rapid changes of tips required during library preparation. The automatic pipettor must use a pipetting head/core made of a silicone gask matt as a seal to the tips, instead of a regular bullet O-ring seal.
