TQMTEC Quadra4

With over 40 years of experience in automated liquid handling, the

Tomtec Quadra4 is the latest incarnation of a best in class rugged, cost

effective liquid handling workstation for life science work-flows. Whether

you are doing in-vitro research, developing new molecular entities,

conducting solid-phase extraction or serial-dilution - the Quadra4 will

accelerate your process and time to discovery for your most challenging

problems. The workstation is engineered around a reliable fixed-head

air displacement syringe design, which services a six station shuttle.

The six stations can support a wide range of accessories for automating

complex work-loads like solid phase extraction (SPE) and an optional

plate-stacker can be used to queue up to 50 assays. This innovative,

fully automated workstation delivers unprecedented speed, flexibility

and precision with the lowest cost of ownership of any liquid handling

workstation in only 30" of bench space.

The Quadra4 base feature set

Each Quadra4 system is custom crafted in our Connecticut facility, to

your exact needs. Our field engineers work with your research team to

understand your work-flows and expectations, and then recommend the

best possible solution at the best possible price. Once your new unit is

-1 received, our engineers come back and install, test and train your

team on how to get the most value from your Tomtec investment.

With both air displacement pipetting or positive displacement design available, in conjunction with an indexing microplate

stage. The Quadra4 allows the support of complex pipette work-loads found on workstations that cost five-times its

price. In addition, the optional automated plate stackers provide true walk away assay automation. The following list

provides a high level overview of capabilities and features.

Bioanalytical Applications

• 450uL tips with a cannula to access deep

well plates

• Aqueous, to organic, to aqueous, without

a tip change

• Manual or automated vacuum box options

• Stacker in-feed/out-feed for microplates

and reservoirs provides walk away

automation

• Six station shuttle to support multiple

microplates and reservoirs

■ SPE Liquid/Liquid extraction, optional

positive pressure SPE
