Simplicity
So effortless you won’t even notice it.
- A perfectly seamless workflow between the Myra liquid handling system and Mic cycler for qPCR.
- Run Myra and Mic instruments from the one user interface. No exporting or importing of sample names required. Just setup, run, and analyse all in one location.
- Simplified solutions for standard laboratory processes including qPCR, NGS library quantification*, and more*, all available at the click of a button.
- Setup experiments for multiple Mic cyclers using one Myra liquid handling system and analyse together in one file using the Project software feature.
- Calibrate Myra at the click of a button. No more sticking your head under the hood and eye balling the positions. Myra does it all for you.
Performance
A robot with a vision to perfection.
- Best in class accuracy and precision of less than 10% for 1uL pipetting volumes.
- High precision pipette tip positioning for small aperture tubes such as 384 well plates.
- Pressure based liquid level sensing that can monitor the aspirate and dispense process for errors.
- The first liquid handling system with an integrated camera and state of the art algorithms to enable Myra to see what it needs to do. Myra automates and simplifies pipette calibration and monitors for user errors in deck layout such as missing tubes*.
- An interchangeable pipette head gives you more flexibility with your workflow. Each pipette head contains its own calibration data removing the need to re-calibrate on each exchange.
- Multi-dispense pipetting with greater accuracy to reduce time and save on pipette tips.
- Using 384 well pipette tips means you swap out tips less often
Size
A dynamic design with style and function.
- At less than 10 kg and a footprint of less than 1700 cm2, Myra is half the size of other in class liquid handling systems.
- A closed pipette tip waste container minimises the footprint area and reduces contamination risk.
- UV LED lights and a compact HEPA filter reduce the chances of qPCR contamination. The compact design of both parts reduces size and weight of the Myra unit.

MIC QPCR:
Accuracy
Mic delivers unrivaled reproducibility between samples, runs and instruments. Real-time PCR replicates have never looked so good and detection of two-fold differences in gene expression levels never easier.
Why wait to run 384 samples? Get your results now and have the confidence your datasets can be seamlessly combined using our Projects analysis software. Comparing samples between multiple runs or even multiple instruments is effortless.
To achieve this level of quantification precision, the Mic real-time cycler incorporates a unique spinning aluminium rotor which has unsurpassed temperature uniformity during both dynamic and static operations. All other block-based real-time cyclers only promise static uniformity, which could lead to variability as samples aren’t heated and cooled at the same rate.
Combine temperature accuracy of ±0.25ºC, a first class well-to- well temperature uniformity of ±0.05ºC, and superior equilibration time (zero seconds for all wells to reach the same temperature) and you can easily classify difficult class IV SNPs that require melt temperature resolutions of less than 0.1ºC.
You might think this level of performance requires constant calibration of your machine, but Mic’s good to go right out of the box.
