ELECTRONIC 96 CHANNEL PIPETTE

ePlateWizard

Benefit from the unique, internationally patented combination of an electronic and a manual pipette - incredible speed, accuracy and precision with volume adjustment increments as low as 0.1 µl. Effortless programming, with macro step recording functions, simple software control and user-friendly operation. Highly portable, compact design, quick and easy to move or transport anywhere. Also available in two volume ranges, with extended, even wider range of scientific applications.

PLATEWIZARD LIQUID HANDLING SYSTEMS

Key Operational Advantages

Simple
operation

The ePlateWizard 96 channel manual pipetting system can be operated by anyone after just a 5 minute introduction. Pipette simply at the touch of a button, just like with an electronic pipette, or by using the pipetting handle, just like with a manual pipette.

You always have full control over the pipetting and venting speed. Operation is just as simple and intuitive as with a manual pipette. Dispensing multiple partial volumes is also possible. The ePlateWizard can also be used as a step-by-step, manual pipetting device.

Effortless
programming

Thanks to our patented programming, the entire pipetting workflow can be recorded and saved. Simply demonstrate the pipetting workflow to the ePlateWizard once manually, and the device will automatically save all pipetting operations, incl. the precise speed profile of each individual pipetting step.

Workflow can then be repeated by simply pressing the pipetting button. These methods make manual pipetting completely reproducible for the first time, and allow data to be saved to a USB stick, for sharing with other workstations and laboratories.

Incredible
speed

Filling a 96 well plate now takes less than 10 seconds. Even processing 384 well plates is easily accomplished with just four, simply repeated, pipetting steps. This allows high-throughput experiments to be performed for the first time without high costs or staff workload.

Left and slide trays allow quick and easy access for mounting from tip racks, aspiration from liquid reservoirs, and dispensing into 96 and 384 well plates. Smooth vertical and horizontal movement of the pipetting head ensures quick and easy liquid handling workflow processes. 

High
accuracy

The use of high-quality interchangeable tips achieves accuracy and precision comparable to that of 8 or 12 channel pipettes, and even significantly surpasses them in terms of coefficients of variation. Additionally, the risk of double-pipetting or missing entire rows or columns is eliminated.

Innovative engineering, combined with an in-depth understanding of laboratory systems, allows for simplicity, safety, reliability, durability and precision - thereby ensuring reproducibility and constant delivery of trustworthy, high-quality results.

Compact and portable

Flexibility and Customisation

■ Flexible deployment

Thanks to its compact design, the ePlateWizard is portable and can even be used on a sterile workbench.

■ Individual customisation

With a wide range of accessories, such as adapters for processing 384 well plates, reagent reservoirs, or sample temperature control blocks, the ePlateWizard can be fully customised to your needs. We are also happy to develop custom solutions for your specific applications. Just contact us.

■ Health benefits for laboratory personnel

Simultaneous pipetting of 96 channels significantly reduces the strain on the thumbs caused by multichannel pipettes.

■ Two volume ranges

2–300 µl, increment 0.1 µl: cell culture, ELISA, crystallography;
0.1–10 µl, increment 0.1 µl: pre- and post-PCR, qPCR.

MANUFACTURING

Made in Germany

The ePlateWizard is designed and manufactured exclusively by our group company, Alpina Scientific GmbH, at our production facility in Neckargemünd, Germany. This ensures the high quality standards that make you a satisfied customer.

Diverse
Applications

The ePlateWizard offers precision and speed across a wide range of laboratory processes. Its 96 channel capability makes it an indispensable tool for high-throughput microplate applications, including:

  • PCR / qPCR: Pipetting and preparation of master mixes
  • ELISA: simultaneous processing of almost all reaction steps in microtiter plates (coating, starting, stopping, washing, etc.)
  • Cell culture: adding and removing media; plate replication
  • Crystallography: dropwise addition of solutions
  • Expression tests: plate replication
  • Supplement to existing automation: assay development and adaptation to 96 channel systems; backup solution for maintenance and downtime
  • All tasks involving pipetting on a 96 or 384 channel scale
