MVS Uses and Applications

With the MVS you can…

• Understand and assess liquid handler performance behavior for various applications
• Simultaneously measure tip-by-tip accuracy and precision for 1 – 384 tips
• Quantify volumes transferred to a 96-well or 384-well plate
• Quantify low-level DMSO transfers for:
  • LabCyte Echo 
  • nAscent BioSciences PocketTips 
  • Liquid handler validation in high throughput 
  • Comparing the performance of two liquid handlers
• Measure volume transfers of user-specific solution types:
  • Glycerol-based sample solutions 
  • Ethanol-based sample solutions 
• Assess step-wise dilution accuracy 
• Interface with liquid handler automation for in-process QC volume verification
• Facilitate scale-up or transfer of methods 
• Standardize liquid handler QC for all pipettors in a laboratory (or company) without worrying about environmental controls, operator variability, or reparing dye-based sample solutions
• Compare volume transfer performance regardless of make, model, manufacturer or location of the liquid handler
• Troubleshoot assays and methods
• Monitor dispense trending patterns
• Understand device behavior for specific liquid handling tasks 
• Have confidence in reproducibility when preparing samples in wells or mother/daughter plates
• Monitor critical target volumes in an assay or process
• Compare factory to site acceptance testing for new liquid handlers
• Assess operator proficiency when using handheld multichannel pipettes
• Validate new equipment
• Monitor baseline performance of any liquid handler
• Monitor the mixing efficiency in microplates 
• Check performance before/after the use of rare reagents
• Assess liquid handler performance in the field
• Develop, optimize and validate liquid handler methods 
• Verify target volumes dispensed into any container, including tubes, v-bottom, or non-optically clear microtiter plates 
• Monitor quality of tips over multiple uses 
• Achieve liquid handling quality assurance
• And much more…
