Hardware:

The Sciclone NGS has 24 deck locators and an onboard gripper to move reagents and consumables.  The deck includes three 4-110C temperature controlled locators as well as one 4-70C shaking locator.  The system also incorporates waste chutes for discarding consumables and tips.

Demos

Our product can be demonstrated at our facility in Hopkinton, Massachusetts or other Caliper Life Sciences offices worldwide.  Please contact your local Caliper Representative or email info@caliperls.com to arrange a demo.

Software

Customizable Graphical User Interface:
Each Sciclone NGS protocol begins with a menu that guides operators through a variety approaches.


Image Driven Deck Setup:
Caliper has created automated versions of a variety of library construction, target enrichment or sequence capture protocols. Each protocol has been optimized for automation and includes a series of image driven wizards that walk the operator through each preparative step prior to initiating a run. Specific details are provided for placement of all consumables as well volumes of reagents.
