PURCHASE DESCRIPTION

Two (2) Liquid Handlers and accessories: Formulatrix MANTIS or brand-name equal

Purchase Description: The MANTIS Liquid Handler is a programmable, non-contact liquid dispenser that uses positive displacement to maintain accuracy and precision. The MANTIS has a low dead volume (as little as 6 ul) and a minimum dispensing volume of 100 nL. The

MANTIS also includes continuous flow dispensing in deep well plates, two wash stations for sterilization and for final rinse, and built-in tube holders for large volume dispenses (e.g., for compound screening and for 96-well and 384-well plates).

In addition to the commonly-used, silicone-based chips for protein- or cell-based assay reagents, the molecular biology grade chips and the perfluoroelastomer-based chips are available for preparation of gene expression assays and compound plates in DMSO, respectively. When outfitted with a large capacity chip changer (LC3) the MANTIS can accommodate up to 24 chips, allowing for multiplexing of reagents. The carousel can be set up with either 15mL or 50mL falcon tubes.

The specific brand-name items are listed in the table below.
