“We have extensive quality control processes in place to ensure accurate and precise diagnostic test results. The MVS is an important part of that process and gives us confidence that our robots are pipetting what we asked them to pipette across all volume ranges.”

Overview:                                                      Request_a_quote

  • Measures accuracy and precision information, for each dispensing tip, within minutes
  • Covers a volume range of 0.01 to 350 µL
  • Measures performance and provides volume statistics on tip-by-tip and well-by-well basis
  • Provides highly-accurate, standardized results that are traceable to national and international standards
  • Is compatible with 96-well and 384-well microtiter plates
  • Is applicable to automated liquid handlers with 1 – 384 dispensing tips, and to handheld multichannel pipettes
  • Does not require rigorous environmental controls
  • Can be used by a technician of any skill level
  • Is easier and more reliable than any other volume verification method for multichannel liquid handling instrumentation

 

With the MVS, you can:  

  • Measure aqueous as well as non-aqueous volume transfers of user-specific solutions such as dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)
  • Assess the accuracy of dilution steps up to 1:2048 of the starting material
  • Integrate seamlessly with liquid handlers for walk-away, in-process QC
  • Facilitate scale-up and method transfer
  • Troubleshoot assays and methods
  • Ensure reproducibility of replicate plates
  • Monitor all critical target volumes in an assay or process
  • Compare factory to site acceptance testing for new liquid handlers
  • Establish baseline performance of any liquid handler
  • Minimize waste of expensive or rare reagents
  • 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 the impact of repeated tip usage on liquid handler performance
  • Verify liquid handler performance before and after maintenance
  • Evaluate the effect of tip type on liquid handler performance
  • Assess and improve employee proficiency with handheld multichannel pipettes

…and much more.
