MBI SELMA Automatic 96 Microplate Pipetting Workstation
Advanced Mode — Fully Automated | 96-Channel | 1–1000 µL Range
SKU: MBIZR-11979-99
Product Overview
The MBI SELMA Automatic 96 Microplate Pipetting Workstation is a fully automated, high-throughput liquid handling system engineered for laboratories requiring unattended, walk-away operation. With four motorized plate positions, an automated moving tray, and advanced protocol programming, the SELMA Automatic 96 eliminates the need for manual plate positioning or operator intervention once a protocol is initiated. The system simultaneously dispenses across all 96 channels using air-displacement technology, dramatically reducing processing time, human error, and operator fatigue associated with manual or semi-automated pipetting.
Controlled through an intuitive 8-inch Android tablet, the Advanced Mode software features a full graphical protocol editor. Create, save, and execute complex multi-step routines including gradient dilutions, serial transfers, plate replications, and custom workflows. The pipettor moves up and down and plate positions switch automatically during execution, enabling true walk-away automation.
Key Features
- Fully Automated 96-Channel Pipetting — Motorized tip loading/ejection and a four-position, automated sliding platform precisely aligns tips with microplates, reservoirs, and tip racks. Once programmed, the instrument runs protocols to completion without any manual positioning or adjustment.
- Advanced Mode Software — Full protocol editor with graphical programming on an 8-inch Android tablet. Create, save, and execute complex multi-step routines including gradient dilutions, serial transfers, and plate replications. The pipettor moves up and down and plate positions switch automatically.
- No Calibration Required — Factory-calibrated pipetting heads with calibration data stored on a QR code. Users scan the code via the tablet to automatically load calibration parameters, eliminating manual calibration routines.
- Three Interchangeable Pipetting Heads — Compatible with 20 µL, 200 µL, and 1000 µL pipetting heads (1000 µL head included). Quick-swap mechanism enables rapid conversion between volume ranges. The instrument automatically recognizes the installed head model.
- Four Plate Positions — Automated 4-position moving tray accommodates tip racks, source plates, destination plates, and reservoirs. Positions switch automatically during protocol execution, enabling complex multi-plate workflows.
- Compact Footprint — Measures only 690 × 350 × 673 mm and weighs 33 kg, fitting on standard lab benches or inside biosafety cabinets and fume hoods.
- Wireless Bluetooth Control — Built-in Bluetooth module enables wireless tablet connection, allowing remote operation from outside enclosed workspaces for enhanced safety and reduced contamination risk.
- Broad Labware Compatibility — Accepts all SLAS/ANSI standard 24-well, 96-well, and 384-well microplates (shallow and deep well), plus PCR plates with included adapters.
- User Management System — Multi-level user accounts with password protection. Save, recall, and edit protocols per user, ensuring traceability and consistent performance across the lab.
Pipetting Modes & Functions
The MBI SELMA Automatic 96 supports a comprehensive suite of pipetting functions accessible through the Advanced Mode tablet interface:
- Standard Pipetting — Automated aspirate and dispense with defined volumes and automatic blowout across all 96 channels.
- Reverse Pipetting — Improved accuracy for small volumes, foaming, or viscous liquids by aspirating an overfill volume.
- Repeat Dispensing (Multi-Dispensing) — Aspirate a total volume once and dispense it in multiple aliquots across plates or wells without re-aspiration.
- Serial Dilution — Automated column-by-column transfer and mixing for gradient dilution protocols with user-defined ratios.
- Sample Dilution — Sequential aspiration of sample, air gap, and diluent followed by complete dispensing with integrated mixing.
- Gradient Dilution — Equal-ratio dilution of liquids between different rows or plates, commonly used in ELISA reactions and sample dilution workflows.
- Stepper Pipetting — One aspiration and multiple dispenses for reagent distribution and reaction solution addition.
- Mixing — Adjustable-speed mixing cycles to ensure homogeneous reagent distribution with programmable mix duration.
- Program Linkage — Open software design enables complex liquid transfer methods between different plates in a single linked protocol.
- Custom Routines — Save multi-step routines combining any of the above functions for one-touch recall and walk-away execution.
