The TPS-24 offers 24 channel high performance pipetting that is ideal for serial dilution applications and for multichannel microplate pipetting. The microprocessor-controlled pipetting mechanism provides accurate and precise pipetting of microliter or sub-microliter volumes of samples into 96, 384, or 1536-well microplates. The high-speed pipetting system provides short processing times by delivering liquids through 8, 12, 16 or 24 channels simultaneously with precise volume control.       
       
The Total Pipetting Solution (TPS) represents a new generation of affordable liquid handling systems with the versatility and reliability required for today’s demanding laboratory environment. With the innovative Externally Sealed Pipette (ESP) tips, the TPS pipetting system surpasses its competition in terms of applications diversity and reliability. This powerful pipettor has a compact size that easily fits on laboratory benches and also can be placed in suitable laboratory hoods.       
       
The TPS-24 uses Apricot Designs’ unique head design which employs high-precision manufacturing to produce reasonably-priced heads that are independent of the pipetting mechanism. The TPS-24 electronically loads and unloads pipetting heads in a manner of seconds, allowing simple and easy set-up for the task at hand. The TPS-24 will automatically index the pipetting head if necessary for accessing 384-well or 1526-well plates. When disposable tip heads are used, the TPS-24 will automatically load the required number of tips for the programmed operation.
