CANTUS SCREEN Hardware
Cantus Screen high-throughput automation system is a desktop multifunctional liquid handling system, it has many advantages, such as powerful functions, rapid and efficient move, precise liquid transfer. Based on modular design, reconfigurable deck, customizable pipette head and gripper, and the continuously updating software system, Cantus Screen provides reliable operations for a variety of experimental requirements. The Cantus control software has a user-friendly interface, which makes easy for the users to create, edit and run experimental procedures.
Cantus Screen supports a variety of lab applications, such as liquid transfer, serial dilution and liquid distribution and mixing. It’s widely used in automatic NGS library
construction, nucleic acid sample purification, the PCR/qPCR reaction setup, high- throughput compound screening, protein sample preparation. Cantus Screen provides tremendous benifits for high-throughput sample processing, it eliminates the human error effectively, it improves the repetition and accuracy of experimental results, and it supports full sample information tracking. Cantus Screen is an ideal equipment to meet the growing numbers of sample processing and experimental requirements for intelligent operations.
1. Generated by excellent Italian designers, the design aims to deliver high performances and excellent features of technology and aesthetics.
2. An emergency button provides real-time protection for the users. A light curtain is also an option to choose.
3. The deck presents a standarized layout, composing of 16 positions. It can be equipped with storage plate racks, which makes it possible to customize the deck layout
extending to 80 plates.。
There are 4 hollow plate positions with the functions of intergration of the shakers, thermoshakers and other modules.
4. We supply the standard 70ul, 250ul and 1000ul pipette heads, and also supply 250ul and 1000ul smart pipette heads for liquid level detection. In order to meet the
personalized needs of the users, we support a variety of customized pipette heads.
The innovative and proven liquid-seal transfer technology gives users reliable, stable, and accurate results. The components that may interfere with liquid vapors are
treated by special processes, they have high hydrophobicity, decay resistance and wear resistance. The built-in chip, brings the users reliable manufacturer certification.
5. The independent rotating gripper operating within the internal space of the machine, can also extend its operation range to a portion of the external surrounding area of the machine, making it possible to save lab space and integration costs.
Through the combination of grippers, it is very convenient to support more than two machines connection and to improve the operation efficiency.
6. According to the experimental requirements, users can choose the HEPA and UV lamp, to keep the machine clean and avoid the risk of cross-contamination.
7. Four-color indicators: red, orange, blue and green, indicate the states of the machine.
