Kevin Hrusovsky, president and CEO of Caliper Life Sciences, said: “We have partnered with key thought leaders and customers to create the Sciclone G3 platform, which expands Caliper’s long history of innovation for laboratory automation.”
Using a rack system, which simplifies decapping and tube loading, the Sciclone G3 can manage and process 96 blood tubes. The Sciclone G3 uses on-deck sensors and an integrated bar code reader to identify and track samples, providing a comprehensive and direct approach to handling samples on the market.
Kevin Keras, manager of business unit, automation, consulting, engineering and services (ACES), said: “The PING liquid level sensor and tube management capabilities of the Sciclone G3 allow for processing samples directly from blood tubes, a critical step in our comprehensive diagnostic strategy. The pipetting approach implemented on the Sciclone G3 eliminates the need for costly electrostatic tips and is much faster than currently available platforms.”
