J2 Scientific, LLC - Acculute Plus™ Automated Dilution Stations

Acculute™ is a stand alone dilution station for automating routine dilutions from one tube into another. The Acculute™ will prepare up to 135 diluted samples in a single run while the Acculute Plus™ doubles this capacity to 270 diluted samples. Each run can carry out up to three separate dilutions allowing multiple dilutions from the same tube or serial dilutions.

The Acculute™ offers many benefits for automating dilutions:

-Accuracy - High resolution syringe drive (24,000 steps) results in a high dilution accuracy (typically <0.01%)

-Speed - High sample throughput, typically processing 60-90 samples/hour depending on the method

-Flexible Programming - To allow tailored dilution methods to meet the requirements of any user.

-Sample Flexibility - Ability to cope with different sample viscosities through different bore probes and variable syringe speeds

-Sample Presentation - Your choice of rack types to accommodate a variety of tube sizes and types.

-Variable Heights - Height adjustable to optimize probe travel to sample tube height.
