"During a recent CAP inspection I brought up the PCS with our inspector. She said 'you're going to love it; the PCS reduced calibration time in our lab from 7 hours to 30 minutes.' Our PCS is now on order and I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas!"

Overview:      

  • 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.
