Product summary

The System Controller allows seamless integration of the Seyonic Air driven Pipettors with the customer automated platform.

It acts as utility module serving the pipetting systems and provides the interface between the pipetting system and the automated platform’s host computer. It operates by supplying the necessary vacuum and pressure for pipetting actions while acting as a central connection point for commanding the pipettor channels.

The system interface consists of a panel providing communication to the host PC via a TCP/IP port, a connector for hardware I/O signals for realtime coordination of the pipetting actions with the robotic system and the connection to the pipettors. Outlets for positive and negative pressure allow chaining tubing to bring the working pressure to the pipettors.

The Technology

Seyonic Sensor Controlled Pipetting systems provide accurate and precise liquid handling in the microliter to milliliter volume range. Operation is controlled through measurement of displaced air volumes by means of a flow sensor, integrated directly in the pipetting head, in connection with a high-speed solenoid valve.
