Latest innovations
positive displacement
Achieving accurate low volume pipetting can be difficult, especially when handling viscous liquids or other challenging materials. Novel positive displacement dispensing technology from disposable tips underpins our liquid handling portfolio of products.

Chameleon, a blot-free, pico-liter sample vitrification instrument, is a commercial development of the successful Spotiton system, developed by the groups of Bridget Carragher and Clint Potter at New York Structural Biology Center (NYSBC). They set out to create a robust and repeatable technique for specimen vitrification based on small volume dispensing using inkjet technology. chameleon distills out the advantages of Spotition and builds in our proven knowledge of process automation in the field of structural biology.

EZ- Load technology from apricot
EZ-Load technology simplifies semi-automated pipetting with disposable tips without the need for any additional tools or fixtures for loading or unloading. The EZ-Load tips simply drop directly into the head and are ready to use in seconds. The upward clamping force onto the EZ-Load head, whether done with an easy manual lever or with a motorized clamp, will provide a simple and consistent seal which is required for the best pipetting results.

UltrAuFoil ultra-stable gold-on-gold holey cryo-EM supports offer improved conductivity and eliminate differential contraction between grid and film on plunge freezing. Reduced foil crinkling during sample preparation protects the biomolecule’s native structure and supports facilitate the utilization of the highest resolution data from initial frames due to reduced beam-induced motion. Developed by Dr Chris Russo of the Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Cambridge and exclusively manufactured by Quantifoil, UltrAuFoil cryo-EM supports can improve final reconstruction resolution by up to 0.5 Å compared to other supports.
