Agilent Bravo is an automated liquid handling platform that has nine deck positions that can be configured with interchangeable 8-, 16-, 96-, or 384-fixed and disposable tip heads. The platform has excellent accuracy and precision and can be used in a variety of laboratory applications.
This document provides a technical overview of the Agilent Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform. It highlights the device's capability to perform precise and accurate liquid transfers using interchangeable tip heads (8-, 16-, 96-, or 384-channel) across various volume ranges, from picoliters to microliters.
The document includes a summary of performance metrics for specific configurations, such as the Bravo with a 96LT head and 250 uL tips. It details an accuracy and precision testing method using tartrazine/DMSO solutions and presents results showing coefficients of variance (CV) and accuracy percentages at different volumes.
The 96-channel head can pipette across a wide volume range of 1-250 uL.
The transfer time is 37 seconds per plate for a 10.0 uL dispense.
Aspirate parameters are set to 5 mm from the bottom of the plate, preceded by a 2 uL pre-aspirate volume.
