About this topic
The Bravo Platform uses interchangeable liquid-handling heads. This topic describes
the disposable-tip heads.
The Bravo Bravo 96AM Head is designed for running protocols that use the AssayMAP
Bravo cartridges. For details on the Bravo Bravo 96AM Head, see “Bravo 96AM Head
overview” on page 200.
The Bravo Platform can also mount a variety of pin tools for performing low-volume
transfers of fixed volumes. Contact your Agilent customer representative for details.
Disposable-tip heads
Disposable-tip heads allow you to change pipette tips during a run to prevent cross-
contamination. The following table lists the disposable-tip heads available for the
Bravo Platform.
The 96- and 384-barrel heads can dispense fluid into all the wells in a microplate
simultaneously or into a single column, single row, or single well in the microplate.
The 96LT head use large transfer (LT) tips to dispense up to 250 µL per well. The 96ST
and 384ST heads use small transfer (ST) tips to dispense up to 70 µL per well.
