2.3 Injectors
The
infinite
®
200
can be optionally equipped with an injector module consisting of
one or two syringe pumps (XE-1000, Tecan Systems) located in a separate box,
which feed one or two injector needles. The injector needles are designed to
inject liquid in any SBS-conform microplate well types, in which the well-size is
equal to or larger than an SBS standard 384-well plate.
Figure 2-1: Schematic view of the injector module
There are up to two pumps available for the
infinite
®
200
above):
•
Pump A feeds injector needle A
•
Pump B feeds injector needle B
The
infinite
®
200
can be equipped with one pump (pump A) or two pumps
(pumps A and B).
One Injector Option (one pump):
An
infinite
®
200
equipped with one pump
allows injections in any SBS-conform microplate well types, in which the well-size
is equal to or larger than an SBS standard 384-well plate.
Two Injector Option (two pumps):
Some applications, such as flash
luminescence reactions or dual reporter gene assays require the injection of two
independent
liquids into the same well; therefore, Tecan Austria offers a two-
injector option.
