The Precision XS is the best solution in sample processors for today’s modern lab providing the power of unattended operation over manual pipetting with the simplicity and economy lacking in high-end liquid handlers. The Precision XS is specifically designed to fit into most biological safety cabinets and chemical fume hoods.

In addition to transfers using disposable pipette tips, the Precision XS’ autoclavable and organic solvent resistant bulk reagent dispenser is available for transferring larger volumes. Intuitive Precision Power PC software simplifies the programming of applications from hit picking to serial dilutions even for those new to automated liquid handling. BioTek’s Microplate Stacker increases liquid handling throughput by delivering up to 30 microplates to the Precision XS platform.
