1. Core Technology Highlights
The @Pette series integrates advanced AI-driven automation with precision liquid handling, redefining lab efficiency. Key innovations include:
- Intelligent Voice & Touch Control: The @Pette Mini, awarded the 2024 Red Dot Design Award , features voice-activated volume adjustment and a responsive touchscreen, enabling hands-free operation during high-throughput experiments. Users can command "Set 50μL" or adjust parameters via the intuitive interface, reducing manual errors by 30% .
- Auto-Calibration & Cloud Connectivity: Built-in sensors automatically recalibrate pipettes based on environmental factors (e.g., temperature, altitude), ensuring consistent accuracy across 0.1–10,000μL volumes. Data is logged to the cloud, allowing real-time monitoring and traceability through the @Lab Digital Prep Kit’s analytics dashboard .
- Ergonomic Design: Lightweight construction (≤300g) and pressure-sensitive triggers minimize hand fatigue during extended use. The @Pette Pro’s motorized tip ejection reduces finger strain by 50% compared to traditional pipettes .
2. Automated Workflow Solutions
a. High-Throughput Screening
Pairing @Pette 8-channel pipettes with the @Lab Digital Prep Kit streamlines 96/384-well plate setups. The kit’s pre-calibrated tips and digital guides enable error-free reagent distribution, cutting prep time by 40% . For example, in NGS library preparation, the system performs automated nucleic acid purification, fragment sizing, and pooling with 99.8% accuracy .
b. Precision Microvolume Handling
The @Pette Mini excels in microliter-scale applications like PCR and ELISA. Its reverse pipetting mode prevents foaming in small volumes, while real-time volume tracking ensures ±0.6% CV precision . In clinical diagnostics, this reduces sample waste and improves assay reproducibility for COVID-19 testing .
c. Process Optimization
The @Lab Digital Prep Kit’s smart tip tracking and automated calibration reminders eliminate manual maintenance. For instance, in protein crystallization studies, the system reduces calibration downtime by 60%, allowing researchers to focus on data analysis .
3. Industry Applications
- Biopharmaceuticals: Accelerate drug discovery by automating compound dilution and cell viability assays. The @Pette Pro’s programmable 分液 modes (e.g., continuous dilution) support 1,000+ sample processing per day .
- Genomics: Achieve seamless integration with NGS workflows. The @Pette series’ low-coefficient variation (≤0.7% error at 1000μL) ensures uniform library quality, critical for accurate variant calling .
- Clinical Laboratories: Enhance diagnostic throughput with automated ELISA plate filling and sample aliquoting. The system’s compatibility with corrosive reagents (e.g., DMSO, 1M NaOH) makes it ideal for pathology labs .
4. User Benefits
- Efficiency: Reduces manual pipetting time by 50–70% in repetitive tasks like serial dilutions .
- Accuracy: Minimizes human error through real-time error detection (e.g., tip clogging alerts) and adaptive liquid compensation algorithms .
- Compliance: Cloud-based data logging meets GLP/GMP requirements, providing audit trails for regulated environments .
