1536 Pipetting 

Our repeatable and reliable deck teaching and active plate positioning eases 1536-well pipetting without damaging and noisy clipping of pipette tips against plate wells.

Dynamic and Fixed Trays

One fixed tray and two dynamic trays give plenty of room for on-deck devices while leaving space for flexible plate movements that make use of Prime's full storage capacity.

Batch and Parallel Processing

In addition to efficient batch processing, Prime enables continuous sample processing using the built-in collaborative robot, gantry with gripper fingers, and the dynamic tray feature.

Ample Underdeck Consumable Storage

A high-capacity carousel under Prime’s deck can store up to 580 microplates and offers random/non-random access and barcode scanning to greatly expand consumable availability for your automated workflows without taking up additional lab space 

icon-blue-07
Mobile, Scalable, and Upgradable 

Prime is fully mobile for use where and when it is needed. Additionally, this powerhouse automated liquid handling system is endlessly scalable as well as configurable and upgradable to evolve with your changing needs.

Enabling Liquid Handler Accessories 

Choose valuable options such as waste location and HEPA filtration, and add accessories like an overflow wash station, chimney wash, pump stir plate, and more to configure your unique experience. 

Solution Software

Solution Software at Your Command

Prime’s Solution software features a graphic user interface and common-sense operation for the utmost in power and ease. Using intuitive drag-and-drop input, users from advanced to novice can easily and quickly develop, edit, simulate, and implement hands-free workflows on Prime’s pipetting deck.

Real-Time Information Dashboard

Visually track detailed progress in real time through Solution software’s dashboard. This all-encompassing dashboard also lets you perform individual pipetting actions and robot movements independently of a scheduled run. 

Batch Scheduling Your Way

Use Solution’s versatile Order Manager tool to schedule sample batch processing upon completion of prior runs or even at a future time. A simple Gantt chart displays estimated run times and sample process uniformity to ensure the utmost consistency.

Integrate Solution and Cellario

Prime’s Solution software is fully integratable with our Cellario Whole Lab Workflow Automation Software. This means that your multi-device automated systems and even multiple work cells can be organized, scheduled, and controlled from a single interface, regardless of device manufacturer or assay format.

Pipette Tips for Lab Automation

Depend on Prime pipette tips and the Prime automated liquid handler to propel your next breakthrough. Details can make the difference between success and setback, which is why we devote meticulous attention to our exclusive performance-based and precision-engineered Prime automated pipette tips.

Hands-down easier than others

“Unlike many other liquid handlers that we've used, Prime is simple to set up and run, and teaching the heads is easy. Prime Solution software is approachable and easy to navigate, and error handling is excellent. Updates enhance our quality of life and improve usability. Prime integrates very well with CellarioScheduler to increase our throughput and walkway time, which are the most significant benefits.”
