Automation Products

MJ's latest offerings to the automation market comprise an integrated package that solves many of the challenges of automated thermal cycling, such as reliable plate handling and sealing – and does so affordably. This suite of automation products includes a small footprint cycler, a newly designed robotic lid, automation-friendly plates and an improved sealing pad.  

Dyad Disciple™ Thermal Cycler
The Disciple™ cycler is the smallest footprint two-bay thermal cycler available, providing more configurable options than ever before.   The Disciple instrument is operated remotely via USB or serial communications to a computer using a remote command set.   The Dyad Disciple thermal cycler contains the latest in power electronics technology for maximum robustness.

The Moto Alpha™ Unit
The Moto Alpha unit integrates a motorized lid with an Alpha™ sample block and sets a new standard in robustness for automated applications.   The sealing force is set with the software, and is actively monitored to give accurate, repeatable results.   To prevent the plate from sticking to the lid, the Moto Alpha unit is equipped with special pins that separate the plate from the lid.   Additionally, a plate lifting system raises the plate 5mm when the lid is opened, reliably presenting the plate to robotic arms for easy removal.   Moto Alpha units are available in 96-well, 384-well, and flat block formats.

384- and 96-well Hard-Shell® Plates
Hard-Shell microplates solve many problems typically experienced with thermal cycler automation.   Hard-Shell 384 and 96-well microplates (patent 6,304,589) include a skirt and deck molded from a rigid, thermostable polymer, which prevents distortion and shrinkage during high temperature thermal cycling or heat sealing.   In a separate step, thin-wall wells are molded of virgin polypropylene, selected for low DNA binding.   The footprint and well spacing fit SBS microplate standards, and raised rims around each well allow tight sealing with a variety of systems including pressure-based, adhesive, and heat-sealing methods.   Flat plates mean accurate, low-volume automated pipetting is possible with no need for special adaptors.   Stackers and robotic arms can grip and move Hard-Shell plates securely and reliably.

Microseal® 'P+' Sealing Pads
Designed for use with the Moto Alpha unit, these new pads may be used in applications such as cycle sequencing, in which several successive runs may be sealed with the same pad.   The Moto Alpha unit is engineered to prevent a microplate from sticking to the block and lid, and Microseal 'P+' pads provide an improved level of sealing performance, which means you can use as little as 50% of your current reagent volume.   Microseal 'P+' pads are intended for use with the higher sealing pressures afforded by the Moto Alpha lid.
