PIRO®
The PIRO® Liquid Handling System from DORNIER-LTS offers a versatile and flexible pipetting platform. With its reliability, precision and accuracy, PIRO sets a new standard in the molecular laboratory.
PIRO® has been developed as an open system which makes the robot extremely suitable for integration into an automated workflow.
Despite its narrow footprint, a surface of four A4 pages, up to 16 positions can be used for various racks and holders.
PIRO® can work with a wide variety of racks, plates and tubes up to a tube depth of 100 mm. Deep-well plates (including the MP96 input plate), reservoirs and blocks for passive cooling, but also unusual accessories for various real-time PCR platforms such as ABI7500, Quantstudio 5/6, Rotor-Gene, SmartCycler, Eco, LightCycler are among the opportunities.
The PIRO® specializes in Real-Time PCR setup but can also be used for other tasks such as:
- Standardization
- Serial dilutions
- Rearranging plate formats
- Cherry picking of different plates and types of material
- Plate duplications
- Creating different mixes for the same run
- Automatic calculation of mix quantities
