Matrix* PlateMate 2x3 Automated Workstation

• Eight interchangeable 96- and 384- channel format disposable of fixed tip pipetting heads for flexibility of microplate format, volume range, and application requirements
• Six-position, flexible deck configuration accommodates microplates, tube racks, reservoirs, wash stations, thermal control, piercing and vacuum manifolds as well as other accessory options
• High resolution X-Y microplate positioning ensures reliable tip access into 96, 384, and 1536 well labware
• Two peristaltic pumps support onboard active reagent replenishment and tip washing stations
• Non-contact liquid level sensors trigger automatic replenishment of reagent reservoirs
• Small footprint; ideal for use on laboratory benches, or the liquid handling component of a larger robotic system
• All functions are controlled with intuitive drag-and-drop ControlMate software; available OLE package provides integrators and developers with an ActiveX control interface
• Available with open work deck for robotic access in automated environments, or CE-certified model with safety enclosure side panels and light safety curtain in the open front for standalone usage

Choice of Pipetting Heads

• Utilizes the same pipetting heads as the high-throughput Matrix PlateMate Plus
• With eight interchangeable pipetting heads available, PlateMate 2x3 can be configured for a wide range of applications
• Air-displacement heads: utilize Matrix D.A.R.T.s* (Disposable Automation Research Tips) tips and include a volume range of 0.5-30µL or 5.0-300µL in 96 configuration, and 0.5-30µL or 1.0-100µL in 384 configuration; ideal for applications requiring disposable tips, serial dilutions, or incremental dispensing procedures
• All D.A.R.T.s tips available in Non-Sterile, Sterile, and Sterile Filtered format
• Additional D.A.R.T.s options include extended length and wide bore
• Positive displacement heads: available in either 96 or 384 syringe configurations, with volume range of 0.1 to 50µL (with stainless steel needles) or 1.0 to 50µL (with DuraFlex needles); ideal for pipetting down to 0.1µL, resin/bead mixtures, liquids with high vapor pressure, or caustic reagents. Tall height, chimney style tip wash stations eliminate carryover.

Precise Microplate Positioning

• All six plate positions feature active positioning, with X-Y resolution of 0.06mm
• 96, 384 and 1536 well plates can be reliably aligned under the pipetting head
• This high level of precision movement also enables the D.A.R.T.s tips or syringe needles to touch off liquid on the bottom or sidewalls of microplates for dry dispenses, as well as deliver liquid into precise locations within a microplate well

• Sealed Storage TubePiercing Kit enables the Matrix PlateMate 2x3 to pierce up to 96 sealedstorage tubes simultaneously using positive displacement (fixed tip) pipetting technology. The robotic friendly accessible design iscompatible with integrated use for HTS system requirements
• Vaccum Filtration Kit integrates the Millipore MultiScreenHTS* Vacuum Manifold and pump with the Matrix PlateMate 2x3; all of Millipore'sfiltration assays are compatible with the Matrix PlateMate 2x3,including receptor binding assays, homogenous assays, genomic samplepreparations, bead based assays, and other bioassays requiring filterplates
