Q:

Which type of liquid handling arm does the PyroTec™ PRO use, liquid or air driven?

A:

The air LiHa ™ forms a core element of Lonza’s PyroTec™ PRO automated solution for endotoxin testing. The air LiHa™ uses air displacement technology to offer increased flexibility and greater convenience for a variety of applications requiring disposable tips. The air LiHa has a number of advantages for this application:

· A broad volume range ranging from 10 µl – 800 µl per channel

· A low level tip ejector that allows removal of disposable tips without risk of cross-contamination due to generation of aerosols

· Utilises cLLD – capacitive liquid level detection for fast liquid level detection and preferential non-contact dispensing, for optimum pipetting performance

· Offers fast dispense down to 10 µl with CVs below 6%

· Each channel is protected by an inline filter
