Hamilton MagPip Technology Automates Low-Volume Pipetting with High Speed and Quality

The MagPip channels represent a unique, revolutionary technology to transfer liquids. In short, a magnetic driven plunger movement enables enormous acceleration and speed of the plunger, which allows dispense small volumes contact free with a novel dispense mode called WhiPip dispense. With this WhiPip dispense, pipetting is highly precise down to volumes of 0.3 μL.

Smaller volumes means less use of precious samples and reagents. Furthermore, WhiPip dispense mode makes it possible to rearrange, optimize and simplify the workflow and reduce tip consumption.
With this application note the advantages of the MagPip are shown by performing a TaqMan™ qPCR setup. MagPip channels low volume pipetting made it possible to reduce the total PCR volume by 50% compared to conventional pipetting platforms. Despite pipetting volumes down to 0.3 μL, the results of the qPCR analysis revealed very high precision and reliability.

Cost-effective
Reducing the volume of reagents and sample as well as the tip consumption saves costs.

Time-saving
Faster pipetting and reduced pipetting steps reduces the processing time of qPCR setup.

Precise
MagPip's high accuracy guarantees high quality results."
