Boost Your Lab's Productivity with the AutoMATE™ 96 from Accuris Instruments
The AutoMATE™ 96 is a high-throughput, fully automated liquid handling workstation designed to streamline microplate filling and improve productivity in your lab. This 96-channel pipetting station can dispense up to 96 channels simultaneously, significantly reducing processing time and errors associated with manual pipetting.
Key Features:
Hands-Free Operation: Automated tip loading/ejection and a four-position sliding platform align tips with microplates/reservoirs, eliminating manual positioning.
Intuitive Tablet App: Program and operate the AutoMATE™ 96 with ease using the included tablet's user-friendly app.
Versatile Pipetting Range: Three interchangeable heads accommodate pipetting volumes from 1.0µL to 1000µL.
Compact Design: Fits onto standard lab benches or biosafety cabinets, maximizing workspace efficiency.
Experience the convenience of unattended protocol execution with the AutoMATE™ 96. Once programmed, the instrument runs protocols to completion without manual intervention, freeing you to focus on other tasks.

Pipetting Modes:
Standard Pipetting: Aspirating and dispensing reagents by hand is labor-intensive and error prone. With the AutoMATE 96, reagents can be aspirated and dispensed automatically, ensuring accurate and precise transfer to and from microplates or reservoirs.
Multi-Dispensing (Repeat Pipetting): Continually filling microplates is a time-consuming process that can often result in hand fatigue. With the Multi-Dispensing function, repeatedly filling microplates can be automated and accomplished quickly without introducing hand strain or fatigue.
Secondary-Dispensing (Plate Filling): Many protocols and applications call for filling a plate with multiple samples or reagents. With the AutoMATE 96, multiple reagents can be aspirated and dispensed into the same microplate. For improved results, each dispense can be programmed to be include a mixing step.
Serial Dilutions: Performing serial dilutions via manual methods is labor-intensive and error prone. Errors in this process will amplify subsequent dilutions as the process continues. With the AutoMATE 96, serial dilutions can be performed automatically and error free.
Mixing: Mixing reagents by hand is strenuous and can be inconsistent. With the AutoMATE 96, mixing can be performed automatically with adjustable speeds, ensuring consistency.
Reverse Pipetting: When the accuracy of pipetting volume is critical, the AutoMATE 96 can be set to reverse pipetting mode. This technique greatly improves accuracy &precision with small volumes of biological fluids.
Software and Programming:
Two operating modes are available and can be selected per the user’s preference.
Manual Mode: Perform operations quickly & efficiently simply by selecting each function individually.
Automated Program Mode: Create a protocol made up of multiple steps in succession. This interface allows for complex protocols to be run from tip-loading through completion with the touch of a button.
Programmable steps: • Load/Eject Tips • Aspirate/Dispense reagents • Perform serial dilutions • Rinse tips • Repeat a cycle • Pause after a certain step
Broad Labware Compatibility: All brands of microplates and reservoirs meeting SLAS/ANSI formats are compatible for use with the AutoMATE 96. Included plate adapters allow 384 well microplates and PCR plates to be used.
Fully Automated Tip Loading and Ejection: Motorized tip loading and ejection provides handsfree, consistent tip loading throughout all 96 wells.

I wrote to Transilluminators.com before purchasing to make sure the caster would work with my biorad gel trays and they confirmed this for me, which I very much appreciate! The caster works pretty well overall, and it is the only one I could find on the market at my time of purchase. Good overall experience and I would purchase from them again.
Pretty easy and safe to use - you don't have to hold iphone to take a picture of the gel with the UV light on. A cheap substitute for expensive gel imager.
Great image quality and easy to use. Perfect for a teaching lab.
Bought this for a teaching lab. Our existing system created multiple workflow bottlenecks when multiple students needed to image their gels at the same time. Taking turns using the imaging system and then having to transfer files from a shared device attached to the imager to students' accounts. This SmartDoc imaging system takes great pictures using students' phones. There's really nothing i can complain about for the quality of the image I need for the purposes of a teaching lab. The system is a fraction of the cost of a traditional lab imaging system and students are happy to have the images right on their phones for them to access. I'm getting a few more of these.
We ordered several cases of Luna's cell counting slides from transilluminators.com. We received a 20% discount for the same quality slides we would receive from Luna. Thank you for helping us save some money!
