Corbett Robotics CAS1200 Automated Real-Time qPCR Pipetting System The Corbett CAS1200 is a compact, high-precision robotic pipetting system specifically designed to automate the setup of real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) reactions. Built with a focus on accuracy, reproducibility, and contamination control, the CAS1200 is ideal for laboratories aiming to streamline qPCR workflows and minimize pipetting errors. Key Features Dedicated for qPCR Setup Designed to prepare qPCR reactions with exceptional precision, the system supports complex workflows like standard curve generation, dilution series, and sample replication. Single-Channel Pipetting Head Equipped with a high-precision single-channel pipetting arm capable of handling volumes from 1 to 200 µL. Achieves coefficient of variation (CV) of less than 1% for â¥5 µL volumes. Flexible Plate Compatibility Supports a wide range of tube and plate formats including 0.1 mL and 0.2 mL PCR tubes, 96-well plates, and 384-well plates. Compatible with popular real-time PCR instruments such as Rotor-Gene and LightCycler. Contamination Control Offers options for ultraviolet (UV) sterilization and HEPA-filtered airflow to maintain a sterile working environment and reduce cross-contamination. Advanced Liquid Handling Software User-friendly software enables intuitive protocol setup, tip usage control, reagent tracking, and comprehensive logging. Features include master mix creation, dilution logic, and full plate mapping. Deck Configuration Modular deck accommodates multiple source plates, reagent reservoirs, and destination plates. Typically supports six plate positions, including tube and tip racks. Liquid Level Sensing Includes software-based liquid level tracking (LLT) and optional conductive tip sensing (LLS) for low-volume accuracy and conservation of precious reagents.
