What is SQWERTY?
A compact pipetting robot built for everyday use.
SQWERTY makes it quick and easy to run complex
pipetting workflows involving almost
any liquid or labware, even 384-well plates.
I have students. Why would I need a pipetting robot?
Professor: “Student drone #10152, please can you pipette this huge stack of microplates with ludicrously small quantities of imperceivable liquids
all day every day for the rest of your life?”
Student: *sigh* “…sure… oops”
Compact
Fits on your benchtop, in a fume hood,
or in the hold of a plane.*
*Going on vacation with your SQWERTY
is highly encouraged.
Easy-to-use
Walk up and programme workflows
in minutes. Then save or download them
for anyone to use.
Accurate
Forward, reverse, aliquot and touch
dispensing down to 1μL. Miniaturise
assays to save on tips and reagents.
SQWERTY features
400mm2. 16kg. Smaller (and less mess) than a coffee machine
– though far less delicious
Three zones compatible with standard liquid handler tips (e.g. Tecan cone or Tecan LiHa) and SBS-format labware
Interchangeable pipette modules giving a total range of 1-1000 ul
Buttons to pause, stop and resume
UV-C LEDs to aid sterilisation
Accurate aspiration and dispensing using pressure-based sensing
Save, export and batch edit workflows (in software or .csv)
Signature Singer bottle opener on the side. Cheers!
SQWERTY software
SQWERTY’s intuitive software interface means you can
expect to be setting up your own workflows within minutes,
not hours or days, no experience necessary.
Once you’ve optimised for performance, on-screen prompts make
it simple for any member of the lab to run your workflow.
Automate anything from quick simple transfers, to multistep pipetting
workflows, by combining forward, reverse and multi-dispense
pipetting modes.
Interactive mode
Lets you quickly perform basic pipetting steps.
Perfect for trivial repetitive tasks, or to test and
optimise your liquid class settings before building
into a longer workflow.
Builder mode
Combine a series of operations: transfers, aliquots
and serial dilutions. Add a timer between operations or specify
specific off-deck tasks to be prompted between steps.
Object creator
Any size. Any shape. Step-by-step guidance through
each parameter needed to incorporate your preferred labware.
Various standard types come preloaded, including
tube and tip racks, multiwell and deepwell plates.
SQWERTY applications
