AD1500 - Research & Development System
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The AD1500 is a tabletop workstation
designed for high speed aspirating and
dispensing applications to glass slides,
microtiter plates or membranes. Its compact
footprint and up to four BioJet Plus Pumps
make it ideal for a research laboratory to
investigate new applications.

Both chemical and biological reagents can
be dispensed using the proprietary BioJet
technology. BioJet Plus couples the X-Y-Z
motion control system with the high
precision displacement capabilities of a
syringe pump and the high-speed
actuation of a microsolenoid valve. The
three components synchronized together
result in a precise, non-contact liquid
handling system.
