is there anyone out there using the hydra 96 pipettor from robbins
scientific to pool their reactions? specifically i am genotyping
microsatellites and am looking for an alternative for pooling. we
currently have a biomek performing that operation but things could go a
bit faster with a 96 channel tool. unfortunately the model i have - the
280 ul volume, does not seem to allow me to aspirate only 2 ul from a
microtiter plate and dispense that same amount of volume. does anyone
have a suggestion on how i can aspirate only small volumes and recover
the full amount without having to aspirate the whole pcr reaction?
thanks
