Re: [ccp4bb] Automating liquid dispensing

2011-03-13 Thread Dr. Isabel De Moraes
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). 
 
Regards,
Isabel

We also recently obtained a Liquidator 96 from Rainin.  Working well so far and 
way below the price of any of the competitors.

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.

Best,
Engin
