Brings together the functionality of several instruments
The apricot PP5 brings together the functionality of several pipettors into one space-saving instrument suited for both production and laboratory environments. Its accurate, reliable, and repeatable automation minimizes repetitive tasks and eliminates pipetting errors to increase productivity. The intuitive interface, compact 5 plate position automated deck, and optional active tip wash or reagent reservoir station simplify and significantly speed up multi-step liquid handling processes.
Flexible support
With 5 linear plate positions, and 1 tip wash/reservoir station the PP5 offers 8,12,16, 24, 96, or 384 channel pipetting and is designed for automatic 12 to 96 and 96 to 1536 reformatting.
Integration ready
The instrument is designed for easy integration with a range of laboratory equipment to support automated workflows.
Simple loading and unloading of tips
The PP5 uses Apricot’s unique EZ-Load disposable tips for simple, no-pressure loading without a requirement for any tools.
Small footprint
The compact design conserves precious bench space and fits easily into suitably sized hoods.
Select from a range of models
Researchers can select from four models depending on the application.
Intuitive, user-friendly interface
The instrument is easily and intuitively controlled through a simple touchscreen tablet interface and requires minimal operator training.

"Amazing to see [the apricot] unboxed and contributing to more efficient NGS workflows on the same day! We’re all about that kind of turnaround…"

"The apricot is a very efficient tool for us. We work with high-throughput 384-well low-volume plates that don't leave a lot of room for error when handling. Using the apricot for media changes and other aspects of cell culture cut down our wet lab time tremendously and make our treatments much more consistent than they would be by hand. The apricot is our most heavily used piece of equipment in our lab."

"In the start of the pandemic PP5+1 saved the day! It is easy to create reproduce-able results. I created Covid extraction protocols with this instrument “6 PP5+1” paralleling the process allowing lab staff to easily run RNA extractions and get the same results every time. With the open platform it makes it intuitive to control the throughput. It can handle higher throughput or partial allowing us to keep one instrument for all our needs."
