Accessories and Components

Innovadyne Technologies, Inc. offers accessories for our dispensing instruments, and components based on our technology that you can incorporate into your equipment.

Plates

Innovaplate™ SD-2 Crystallography Plate
The Innovaplate SD-2 is a remarkable new 2-drop-chamber crystallography plate for performing sitting drop protein crystallography screens. Designed to meet stringent criteria specified by prestigious crystallographers, and made of proprietary new materials that allow for better imaging of crystals, the Innovaplate SD-2 provides easier access and removal of the crystals, better mixing of precipitate and protein, and lower reaction volumes.

Nanodrop™ Accessories

Recirculating Reagent Refill System
The Recirculating Reagent Refill System is for HTS and other applications that require dispensing up to four reagents to multiple plates. The reagent refill system refills the reagent reservoir automatically from separate reagent sources, maintaining a constant liquid level in each. This eliminates time-consuming manual pipetting and reagent level monitoring, and enables integrated automation and temperature control. The system includes an RS232 port that allows users to fill the reservoirs in a "just in time" fashion.

Orbital Shaker
The Orbital Plate Shaker is a precision electronic shaker peripheral that provides a tight 1 mm orbital shaking pattern for all SBS plates and reagent trays. The Orbital Plate Shaker can be placed on any plate nest on Nanodrop and Screenmaker™ instruments. It is designed with a programmable acceleration and velocity range of 60 to 3570 RPM, providing a gentle stirring motion for skin prevention, medium speeds to ensure liquids remain fully mixed and in suspension across all wells, and vortex mixing for micro tubes.

Paddle Wheel Stirrer
Innovadyne offers a custom Paddle Wheel Stirrer reservoir that is designed to keep particulate reagents in solution. A variable-speed drive mechanism enables you to attain homogeneity of the solution without damaging fragile particulates, especially cells. Reagent refill can be incorporated into the same reservoir with the paddle wheel stirrer. The system works with beads, cells, and membranes.

High Pressure System
The High Pressure System option is available for the Nanodrop series and Screenmaker 96+8 dispensing instruments. The High Pressure System option is the system of choice for applications where you need to dispense liquids that are highly viscous, highly concentrated, or tending to stick to surfaces. It enables pressurization of the system fluid to up to 50 psi, whereas the standard Nanodrop fluidics and pressure bottle is only for use up to 25 psi. The higher pressure range enables the more difficult reagents to move easily through the harness and out the tips, creating clean, consistent drops.

Bead Dispensing Head and Harness
Innovadyne introduces the Bead Dispensing Head and Harness for reliable dispensing of SPA and other beads. The Bead Dispensing Head converts any Nanodrop stage to a bead dispenser in a matter of minutes, and is just as easily removed to convert back to a conventional Nanodrop stage.

Biomek FX Adapter Kit
Innovadyne Technologies offers a universal non-contact liquid handling peripheral to enable high precision non-contact dispensing applications on existing Biomek® FX liquid handlers. The patent-pending peripheral mounts directly to the working platform of the FX instrument via an adapter kit. A custom SILAS™ driver has also been developed to communicate with the FX.

Components

Glide Drive 60 Syringe Pump
Innovadyne's Glide Drive 60 is the most compact and lightest syringe pump of its kind available today. The pump produces precise displacement for the aspiration and dispensing of a wide variety of fluids for many applications. The GD 60 accommodates both chassis and cavity parameters of existing equipment, and may be used as a drop-in component to replace existing dispensing equipment or integrated into new product designs, thus minimizing bench space.

Nanofill 1
The Nanofill 1 is a single-channel solution for non-contact, low-volume dispensing. This benchtop instrument is designed for integration into your current liquid handler by mounting directly to its stage. With a dispense range of 100 nL through 10 µL, and high precision, the Nanofill 1 offers an economical solution for transfers of expensive or scarce reagents.
