Increased
productivity for clinical labs.
The
Mirror Rack from Porvair Sciences provides a unique, high productivity
sample processing system for use with automated pipetting systems.
The
innovative Mirror Rack facilitates rapid and direct pipetting of
cryo-vial samples from clinical trials into standard 96-well microplates.
In conjunction with a 96-tip liquid handling head the Mirror Rack
enables sample transfer into a 96-well plate in less than 40 seconds
without the need to change pipette tips. The result is a considerable
increase in productivity for clinical laboratories.
Approved
for use in deep freezes and fully compatible with most centrifuges,
the Mirror Rack provides a complete system that may be used for
sample collection, transportation to the laboratory, sampling, and
storage.
The
two halves of the Mirror Rack are colour coded to minimise the chance
of sample confusion. The first 48-position rack positions sample
vials to align with half of the tips of a standard 96-tip liquid
handling head. These samples are then dispensed into half the wells
of a 96-well microplate. The second rack, a mirror image of the
first, positions a further 48 vials to align with the tips not used
in the first part of the process. These samples are then directly
transferred into the remaining empty wells on the microplate.
