D AssayMAP Bravo Platform
Bravo 96AM Head overview
Bravo Platform User Guide
Extended use of the Bravo 96AM Head with dry syringes for disposable-tip liquid
handling can shorten the life of the syringe seals.
Examples of each liquid-handling mode
The following figure shows how liquid moves through a mounted cartridge, through a
bare probe, and into a mounted disposable pipette tip.
2 AssayMAP
cartridge
• Maximum volume: 250 µL can be pulled through the
cartridge into the syringe before the syringe is full.
• Either all 96 or a subset of the liquid-handling channels are
supported.
• When cartridges are mounted on the probes, the syringes
can push or pull liquids through the resin bed of the
cartridges.
3 Disposable
250 µL LT
pipette tip
• Maximum volume: 140 µL can be pulled into a mounted
tip before the excess fluid overflows into the syringe. The
probe protrudes into the tip volume capacity.
• Either all 96 or a subset of the liquid-handling channels are
supported.
• With pipette tips seated on the probes, the syringes can
transfer samples without coming into direct contact with
them.
IMPORTANT If the aspiration volume exceeds the capacity
of the disposable pipette tips, the excess fluid will overflow
into the syringes. You can clean the probes and syringes by
washing at the 96AM Wash Station.
IMPORTANT The 96AM Cartridge & Tip Seating Station is
required to mount pipette tips on the Bravo 96AM Head.
Note: Disposable pipette tips mount approximately 9.68 mm
(0.15-inch) lower relative to the housing of a Bravo 96AM
Head than they would relative to the housing of a standard
96LT Head.
