Automate Preparation Of Lab Samples: SVPM – 8 Pipetting System

The new Festo Single Axis Variable Pitch Module (SVPM) is an ideal solution for common applications such as lab sample preparation or a variety of packing applications. The mechanical linkage of the SVPM permits pitch adjustment from a minimum of 9 mm to a maximum of 50 mm. In the preparation of lab samples individual pipettes can easily be mounted to each of the eight fingers. By using this configuration 8 pipettes can aspirate or dispense from a 96 well plate (8 x 12) at a 9 mm pitch, then expand to a different pitch, as required by the application to aspirate or dispense into a large variety of fluid containers such as tubes, chips or vials up to a 50 mm pitch.
