Liquid handling pipetting robot CyBio SELMA

for assay automationfor laboratory automationfor cell cultures

Product overview
The CyBio SELMA by Analytik Jena is a compact semi-automated pipettor for bench-top use, designed for fast, reproducible filling of 96- and 384-well microplates without a PC. It supports common liquid-handling tasks such as plate replication, reformatting, medium exchange and serial dilutions.

Key features

• Standalone operation for 96- and 384-well workflows; no computer required
• Touch-screen guided user interface for simple, intuitive handling
• Ready-to-use CyBio TipTrays for quick tip changes
• 96 or 384 parallel pistons and proven tip sealing for reproducible, error-minimized results
• Method memory and automatic use of pipetting heights and handling parameters for multi-plate processing
• Open design allows integration of external devices (shaker, vacuum chamber, heating adapters)

Variants

• CyBio SELMA 96/25 µl — 96-channel head 0.5–25 µl; 2 working positions (96-well)
• CyBio SELMA 96/60 µl — 96-channel head 1–60 µl; 2 working positions (96-well)
• CyBio SELMA 96/250 µl — 96-channel head 5–250 µl; 2 working positions (96-well)
• CyBio SELMA 96/1000 µl — 96-channel head 10–1000 µl; 2 working positions (96-well)
• CyBio SELMA 384/25 µl — 384-channel head 0.5–25 µl; 2 working positions (384-well)
• CyBio SELMA 384/60 µl — 384-channel head 1–60 µl; 2 working positions (384-well)
