The Liquidator 96 is at my opinion the best in the market. Is a manual system, but fast without problems related to cross contamination. The electronic ones (from other brands) at some point gives you problems with the electroninc system and the tips are not disposable (they take long time between plates due to the tip washes).

If you want to see the posts, check this out and the responses to it: http://www.mail-archive.com/ccp4bb@jiscmail.ac.uk/msg14758.html In my case, the winner was the Liquidator 96 from Rainin. It has proven to be very useful and too popular, and now it is being utilized for everything under the sun.
