Key features:
• Interchangeable 96‑ or 384‑channel pipetting cores to adapt to different workflows.
• EZ‑Load tip system enabling tool‑free, no‑pressure tip loading and unloading.
• Adjustable split‑level manual plate elevators for handling multiple plates or reservoirs with SBS labware flexibility.
• Intuitive touchscreen interface requiring minimal training.
• Compact design suitable for bench or hood spaces (fits inside many fume hoods).
• Good precision & accuracy: <3% CV at 10 µL (for the 96–1000 core) and ±2% error, with resolution down to 0.1 µL for certain cores.
Applications:
Apricot S1 is ideal for automating routine liquid handling tasks like reagent addition, serial dilutions, and plate transfers in molecular biology, biochemistry, and screening workflows.
Consumables: Apricot EZ load and AL tips.
