OMNI Prep 96 Automated Homogeniser Workstation

Click2Contact

Capella Science has partnered with OMNI in order to drive efficiencies in the area of high-throughput fully automated sample homogenisation. The OMNI Prep 96 Automated Homogeniser Workstation is designed to enable true walkaway sample processing, maximising turnaround times, result accuracy and reproducibility, and contributing to improved downstream chain of custody.

The Prep 96 mimics manual homogenisation using the same generator probe movement, providing automated homogenisation. Complete homogenisation is innovatively delivered by the motorhead movement both vertically and horizontally, maximising generator probe sample contact. The patented Whisper Drive Technology brushless motor delivers quiet processing and enables reproducibility across all samples, regardless of fluctuations in sample size and viscosity.

By mimicking manual homogenisation, the platform accelerates turnaround times, speed of results and protocol standardisation. Reduced manual handling results in a good return on time invested, while consumable spend is lowered through smooth transfer to the next downstream application.

The product’s small footprint allows up to 96 samples to be batch processed simultaneously, using vertical and horizontal intra-tube movement at variable speeds. Samples can be processed in 5, 14, 15, 30 and 50 mL tubes, at volumes between 250 μL and 40 mL and variable speeds between 500 and 28,000 rpm. Cross-contamination is eliminated using the 7 and 12 mm OMNI Tips Plastic Disposable Probes and different methods can be created and customised using the intuitive OMNI Prep 96 software.

Other specifications include: 5, 7 or 10 mm stainless or hybrid generator probes; dimensions of 95.2 cm width, 72.9 cm height (lid open) and 64.8 cm depth; and weight of 57 kg. Potential high-throughput sample processing applications include forensic toxicology, pharmaceutical/drug development, food and environmental testing, and agrigenomics.
