Flexible liquid handling combined with robotic manipulation for high-throughput

To meet requirements in the modern laboratory, a robotic system needs to be flexible, fast, accessible and easily integrated.

The LISSY 2002 combines sophisticated and flexible liquid handling with robotic manipulation suitable for high-throughput processing of 96 and 384 plates. The modern, uncomplicated design integrates robotic and liquid handling functionality into the robotic arm, which glides on an x-rail to access racks and modules on the large workbench or external modules. The design of LISSY 2002 allows easy integration of functional modules such as microplate readers, washers, shakers and centrifuges.

LISSY 2002 is available with one or two arms with up to 8 dispensing tips on each arm. The system can therefore be equipped with up to 16 dispensing tips, or 8 tips on one arm and a gripper tool on the second arm. Flexible independent spacing of the probes enhance the speed of the LISSY 2002 eg when acherry-picking'. Former multi-step processes can now be made in a single step.

The new technology of the micropumps solve problems common in dispensing (system) solvents such as DMSO and acetonitrile at a high speed. For aggressive and corrosive reagents Lissy 2002 can be equipped with syringe pumps.

A rotating gripper makes barcode reading faster and easier, ie if a barcode cannot be read the gripper turns the vial automatically. The gripper can pick plates and place them at a 90° or 180° angle on the system and thus use the space efficiently.
