Multi-Core Pipetting Arm (MCPA)
Seamless core swapping. Increased throughput. Ultimate flexibility.
Why Choose the MCPA?
The MCPA tools are a versatile suite of interchangeable head tools designed to seamlessly integrate with the Standard Technology (ST) system. With just two simple commands—load and unload—the system effortlessly swaps between head tools, eliminating the need for recalibration between swaps. On-the-fly tool changes within a method transform the ST system into a modular, all-in-one automation powerhouse.
Available MCPA tools include 24, 96, and 384 ST pipetting heads, 24 and 96 magnetic rod heads for automated on-deck purification, and positive pressure tools, offering unparalleled flexibility and precision for diverse applications.
- Practical Multi-Application: Perform liquid transfers, mag-bead purification, sample filtration, and more.
- Seamless Core Swapping: On-the-fly tool exchange within ~45 seconds.
- Extended Walkaway Time: No need for third-party device integration or manual intervention.
- Increased Throughput: Reliable, uninterrupted workflow saves time and enhances efficiency.
- Large Volume Handling: The only liquid handling platform offering a 5 mL 24 pipetting head and a 24XL magnetic rod head.
