We are currently using an ABI377 for sequencing analysis and
microsatellite-
genotyping. The demand is growing fast for both applications and we
are considering the purchase of a pipetting robot.
Beside the cost of purchase, the criteria that I would consider are:
-cost of use (tubes, pipet tips...)
-user-friendliness
-built-in thermocycler
-rapidity and number of reactions
-precision and minimal volume
-any other useful criteria
I would welcome any comment from users with an experience with one
of the pipetting robots currently available.
