The Agilent Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform is a liquid handling device with 384-channel 10 µL tip accuracy and precision. It offers high accuracy, high precision, and high throughput.
The Agilent Bravo Automated Liquid Handling Platform is designed to automate routine laboratory processes, increasing sample processing throughput while improving accuracy and precision. The system features nine deck positions that can be configured with heating, cooling, and shaking stations, accommodating various SBS standard microplates.
This document specifically details a technical overview of the platform's performance when used with a 384-Channel ST Disposable Tip Head and 10 µL tips. It describes the testing methodology involving tartrazine/DMSO solutions and UV/Vis spectrophotometry to measure accuracy and precision across a low volume range (0.3 pL to >2 uL).
| Tip Volume Range Tested | 0.3 pL to >2 uL |
|---|---|
| Coefficient of Variance (CV) Target | 5% |
| Accuracy Tolerance | +10% of desired volume |
| Deck Positions | Nine |
For 0.3 pL, the CV is 3.1% and accuracy is +1.4%.
For 2.0 pL, the CV is 1.3% and accuracy is +1.6%.
Performance at volumes >2 uL is equal to or better than the 2 uL performance.
