Thermo Fisher CV2000 boosts sample output

Published: 22-Sep-2011

Liquid handler is capable of holding up to 300 samples

Thermo Scientific’s CV2000 automated aliquoting liquid handler dispenses volumes from 100–875µL and process up to 1,000 samples per hour. With its robotic arm and rotary height sensors, it fits easily into automated workflows to boost sample throughput.

The system is compatible with a variety of sample management software, but can also be used as a stand-alone instrument. According to Thermo Fisher, it effectively manages samples to boost efficiency and productivity with zero cross-contamination.

Compatible with multiple rack formats, the CV2000 system allows users to change the loading and dispensing routine to suit their needs. A tip preservation system allows the instrument only to discharge used tips, reducing waste while eliminating contamination.

Capable of holding up to 300 samples and accommodating both 45 and 90mL urine containers, the system can automate the process of aliquoting urine from primary samples to analyser racks. It also creates a batch report that is compatible with downstream analysis instrumentation, which is used to process the urine samples.
