Intelligent Measuring System
:
ali-Q
aliquot mode
utilizes
a state-of-the art measuring system that incorporates information and
feedback from
multiple
sensors to give real-time feedback and parameter adjustment for different
variables that affect the accuracy and precision when in
aliquot mode
.
LED Indicators:
When charger is disconnected:
LED
Status
OFF
Battery charge is 20% or more.
RED
blink (slow)
Max. 2 hours battery remaining. Charge recommended.
RED
blink (fast)
Battery completely dead. Unit will not function until battery is charged.
When charger is connected:
LED
Status
ORANGE
Battery is recharging.
GREEN
Battery is fully charged. Remove charger.
NOTE:
-
ali-Q can still be used when connected to charger
-
If LED does not light up during charging, see Troubleshooting section

Varying environmental conditions
: Temperature, humidity and pressure all have significant effects
on the performance of any liquid handling device... EXCEPT for the ali-Q! ali-Q can sense changes in
ambient conditions and compensate as necessary to ensure accurate aliquoting- whether you
'
r
e
in
the
deserts of Arizona, or the mountains of Colorado!
-
Varying pipet angle
: One of the most useful (and ergonomic!) features of the ali-Q is its ability to
adjust the dispensed aliquots for varying pipet angles. This is especially useful in a hood, where
space
and maneuverability is limited. Whether you hold the pipette completely vertical or tilted,
you can
be confident that performance will not be affected.
-
Varying brands/sizes serological pipets:
Every brand of pipet has different sizes and geometries.
These geometric differences contribute to changes in the physical characteristics of the system. ali-Q
can sense the effect of these differences and will automatically compensate accordingly, to optimize
performance.
NOTE: Discard first aliquot for optimal precision.
