An Assessment of the Volumetric Performance of the MANTIS® Liquid Handler Using the Artel MVS® Multichannel Verification System
An Assessment of the Volumetric Performance of the MANTIS® Liquid Handler Using the Artel MVS® Multichannel Verification System
Today, researchers generally regard automated workstations as the most reproducible liquid handling solutions, as automated liquid handling (ALH) systems remove many of the obstacles associated with user variability. Researchers assess the volumetric performance of these devices mainly by measuring the imprecision of liquid transfers, expressed quantitatively through coefficients of variation (CVs).
In this experiment, the MANTIS® Liquid Handler delivered target volumes of Artel Sample Solutions into each well of meticulously characterized Artel 96- or 384-well Verification Plates.
