96 Channel Pipetting Heads and Modules

96 Channel Pipetting Head “Inserter” Model

Part Number 56002 for downward-gripping mandrel tip pick up. Details and price are shown on the last Parts and Ordering page (pg 8) of the Neptune96 BROCHURE. The mandrels insert down into the tips to seal in the conventional manner. This unit has DESKA mandrels designed to permit accurate and precise aspiration as low as 200 nanoliters.

You can see one see-through site in the front. This is a non-functional 97th site through which the unique movements of the differential pistons can be seen so that the non-Vulcan mind can better grasp the unique simplicity of this powerful design.

A closeup movie shows the extraordinary long excursion available in the Pipetting Head for precise aspiration. Another movie shows how the Pipetting Head operates, including its use in the complete Pipetting Module in an automated multi-platform unit for very high throughput and dense microplate application — all with the unique contact-free “blastoff” delivery option capability.

96 Channel Pipetting Head Aspiration Close-up Movie

This well narrated movie shows the long piston stroke excursion distance that gives the precise and accurate low volume pipetting (same for both Inserter and the Clamper models). It is our differential displacement / dual resolution invention that makes this possible in such rugged, reliable form.

96 Channel Pipetting Head Dual Piston Animated Graphic

This is a pleasing and silent cross-sectional graphic that shows what is going on inside — as Superman could see it. You can see how the pairs of seals sweep down over the two pistons, and then how only 1 piston closes the gap to give the clean blowout. Your non-Vulcan mind will find this very helpful in understanding this extraordinary mechanism, so elegant in its simplicity that it can be difficult to grasp on that very basis.
