215 Direct-Inject Liquid Handler/Injector

The 215 Direct-Inject Liquid Handler/Injector is designed to handle the demands of smaller injection volumes—delivers microliter volumes with precision and accuracy. Capable of injecting volumes of 500 nL to 5 mL from 384- or 96-well microplates, vials or tubes.

Features

Accommodates up to 17 standard- or deep-well microplates
Increases throughput with valve switching speeds five times faster than the standard 215 Liquid Handler/Injector
Optional Peltier Racks for cooling and heating of samples in standard microplates
Ideal for injecting 1 µL (or less) directly into the 841 Injection Module to minimize carryover and maximize precision; can also accommodate large-volume injections without reconfiguring the instrument
Add a second 841 Injection Module to increase throughput while preserving bench space
