Hummingbird:   Fast, Capillary Based, Plate Replicator and Reformatting System

The Cartesian Hummingbird(TM) is capable of fast, precise, non-contact transfer of compounds from master plates to daughter plates as well as assay assembly of most common assays.  Compound libraries can be easily replicated or reformatted to and from 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates in the volume range of   50 nl - 1 ul.  The Hummingbird(TM) is capable of making precise direct dilutions and this multi-functional bench top instrument can also be integrated with automated plate handling systems.

Features:
•  Fast - ideal for HTS applications
•  Minimize contamination risk with non-contact dispensing
•  Precise nanoliter dispensing using narrow bore glass capillaries
•  No sample wastage - capillary based system
•  Easy to use - minimal training required

Typical Applications:
•  Compound Library Management and Drug Discovery for Genomics
•  Assay Assembly
•  Low Volume Sequencing
•  Drug Discovery and Library Management for Non-Contact Nanoliter-Dispensing
•  Customized Assays for Non-Contact Nanoliter-Dispensing
