Liquid Handling Heads

Agilent disposable-tip pipette heads
Many of today’s laboratory liquid handling applications require the use of disposabletips to prevent carryover/contamination (for example, PCR). The Bravo platform uses
interchangeable disposable-tip liquid handling heads that, when combined, cover a very
wide volume range (300 nL to 250 μL).
Agilent pipette heads are designed to be easily mounted or exchanged and to offer theadvantage of being more forgiving than metal-tipped, fixed-tip heads during collisions,increasing uptime during the life of your instrument.

Single-well, column, row, array, and full plate liquid handling
The Bravo platform provides liquid handling automation for microplates, including low volume
single-well, column, row, array, and full plate liquid handling.
Disposable-tip pipette heads can aspirate or dispense into one sample well or an array ofsample wells (which include a corner and are contiguous). This is primarily used for single-tip
cherry picking and occasionally for multiple-tip or array cherry picking. This feature isavailable in Agilent’s VWorks Automation Control software, within the Bravo platform’s liquidhandling tasks (Set Head Mode). The Set Head Mode allows use of all tip barrels, full columns,
full rows, or partial rows and columns.

Liquid handling performance*
Together, Agilent disposable-tip pipette heads and tips cover a pipetting volume range from
300 nL to 250 µL with 5% CV. High precision is achieved by optimizing each head for a
specific portion of the pipetting volume range. Typical %CVs for dispensing 2 µL are 2.1%
using DMSO. Agilent pipette heads are designed to be compatible with most common life
science laboratory reagents and, with optimization, CVs better than 5% can be achieved
across many liquid types.

Agilent disposable-tip pipette head

disposable pipette tips, visit
www.agilent.com/lifesciences/pipettetips

Agilent disposable-tip heads are designed to work in two liquid volume ranges: smalltransfer (ST) and large transfer (LT).

Agilent orbital shaking station

Usage tips

The Agilent orbital shaking station is designed to agitate liquid within tissue culture plates or
microplates in typical life sciences applications. It is a magnetic shaker with its own wired,combination remote control and power supply. The compact orbital shaking station replaces
a standard deck pad, when placed on the adapter pad (included), and may be located in any
deck position.
The orbital shaking station automatically returns to its original start position to ensure safe,
continuous, unattended operation. The automatic startup function ensures a gradual start
to the shaking process to reduce sample splashing. The inductive drive is wear-free andmaintenance-free. It is also known as the custom INHECO Teleshake and includes the control
unit as shown.

Agilent heating station

Integration tips

The Agilent heating station is mounted on top of the deck, in any position. It has a footprint
slightly larger than a microplate with a low, robot-friendly profile. When used with the required
INHECO STC or MTC controller (bought separately), it can keep samples between ambient
temperature and approximately 95 °C. (Contact surface may reach ~135 °C.) The heating
station can control samples above ambient temperature only. A heating/cooling device issuggested for temperatures below ambient or for samples requiring rapid cooling. Standard
and custom aluminum adapter plates can be used to optimize heat transfer to labware and areavailable directly from INHECO. This item is comparable to the INHECO HeatPAC.
