for researchfor sample preparationfor next-generation sequencing

Product Description
Equipped with a fixed 8-channel pipettor and two flexible single‑channel pipettors, the PANDA Mini liquid handling workstation supports sample quantification, normalization and pooling as part of a fully automated workflow. It serves as an interfacing module between extraction, library preparation and sequencing, designed for routine high-throughput sample processing in research laboratories. The compact system simplifies operation via a dedicated touchscreen and reduces hands-on time to accelerate experiments.

Features

• Fast combined workflow: 35‑second quantification and 35‑minute rapid sample preparation and pooling, enabling quantification and normalization/pooling within ~60 minutes.
• Hands-off automation: Automated pipetting eliminates manual repetitive tasks and reduces operator variability.
• Compact lab-ready design: Touchscreen control for quick setup and operation in constrained bench space.
• Flexible throughput: Fixed 8‑channel pipettor plus two single‑channel pipettors support processing from 1 to 96 samples per run.
• Throughput efficiency: Dual‑pipetting configuration reduces processing time by ~50% and improves overall throughput.
• Ecosystem compatibility: Integrates into Vazyme workflows from extraction to sequencing‑ready libraries.

Parameters

• Throughput: supports 1–96 samples (up to 96 samples processed simultaneously).
• Pipetting configuration: fixed 8‑channel pipettor + two flexible/single‑channel pipettors; optional dual‑pipetting mode.
• Sample volume range: compatible with common volumes across 1–96 formats.
• Performance timings: 35‑second quantification; 35‑minute rapid sample preparation and pooling; combined quantification + normalization/pooling workflow ≈ 60 minutes.
• Control: dedicated touchscreen interface for operation.

Storage
Store at 15–25°C. Transport at room temperature.
