5.7 Injectors
The
INFINITE M1000 PRO
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 (see figure below). Needles
are designed to inject liquid into any well of a 6-well to 384-well microplate.
Three different syringe volumes are available. The standard volume is 1000 µl,
additionally syringes with volumes of 500 µl and 2500 µl are offered.

panel of the injector module.
The
INFINITE M1000 PRO
can be equipped with one pump or two pumps
•
Pump A feeds injector needle A
•
Pump B feeds injector needle B
One Injector Option (one pump):
An
INFINITE M1000 PRO
equipped with one
pump allows injections in all wells of 6 to 384-well plates that comply to SBS
standard. All reactions requiring injection of only one liquid per well can be
performed with this option.
Two Injector Option (two pumps):
Several reactions, 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. By using pumps A and B, two independent liquids can be
dispensed into the same well of a 6-well to 384-well microplate.
WARNING
Switch off the instrument before plugging in or unplugging
the injector module.
