Add-ons: Extend The Capabilities of Your MicroPro

Run Partial Plates with Tips in Strips: Use a Single Strip, Several, or an Almost-Full Rack

Here’s a quick video showing how to load Tips in Strips™ on MicroPro. Use a single strip, several, or an almost-full rack: whatever your workflow demands. You’ll need a clean empty rack, and may benefit from an available Dual Nest, which indexes column by column for serial dilutions.

Add a Third Position for Quick Transfers and Partial Plating with the Dual Nest

The MicroPro Dual Nest quickly moves full plates from left-to-right and makes incremental single-column adjustments to fill partial plates.

The Dual Nest also simplifies transfers, dilutions, and touch-offs, while reducing handling of plates. Variants allow for working in 96- and 384- well formats.

How much time is required to set up my new MicroPro?

From the time you begin unboxing the instrument, you can be up and running in less than 3 minutes. The iPad comes with the App preloaded and already paired with the instrument. Therefore, as soon as you start the App, it will immediately begin looking for and connecting to your instrument.

Can I use any type of tips with the MicroPro?

No, MicroPro automated pipetting systems use a proprietary tip cartridge system specifically designed to reduce the tip load force for a full rack of 96 tips down to approx. 2 lbs. This is what allows the instrument to be so small, and ensures that the tips are firmly mounted and will never leak or fall off.

types of tips to use with a MicroPro

How are MicroPro tips loaded and ejected?

MicroPro utilizes a touchless tip load and eject process. For loading, the instrument will detect the presence of the tip cartridge and clamp and seal automatically. For ejecting tips, a single button press will force the tip cartridge from the instrument and back into an empty waiting rack that is positioned in the nest below.

What type of tablet does MicroPro use?

The MicroPro semi-automated pipette is controlled by the MicroPro Controller App that comes preloaded on an iPad Mini. The iPad is also mounted in a robust stand to protect it during use.

Where can I download the MicroPro controller app?

The App comes preloaded on your iPad Mini, but is also available as a free download. Search the Apple App store from any iPad for “MicroPro Controller”.

Can I build programs on the tablet, away from the instrument (if it's on the bench or in a hood)?

Yes, the MicroPro Controller App can run in Simulator Mode while not connected to an instrument. Within Simulator Mode, you can create new programs, modify existing programs, and review data logs.

Can the same tablet be used with multiple instruments?

Absolutely! Any iPad, with the MicroPro Controller App can connect and drive any MicroPro instrument. The App itself will automatically recognize the semi-automated pipetting device and adjust accordingly.

Can programs be transferred from one instrument to another instrument in my lab?

Yes. Programs, containers, liquid classes, and even the entire database can be transferred from one iPad to another. The easiest method is to transfer them wirelessly using AirDrop.

Does the instrument come with a pre-programmed library of labware?

No, but the PDR (Pipette Depth Recall) function allows users to define and name new labware in seconds. A virtually unlimited number of containers can be created and saved for use in any program. 

Can I create, run and save lengthy, complex scripts and protocols on the MicroPro?

Yes, the Custom pipetting mode allows users to build sequences that include any logical combination of liquid handling steps as well as other step types; including Instructions, Barcode Scanning, Manual Pipetting, etc. The user can potentially enter their entire protocol, which could help reduce errors by ensuring all the various steps are captured accordingly.

Is the MicroPro automatic pipette controlled with an iPad?

micropro 96 channel pipette comes with an ipad for simple operation

Yes, the MicroPro automatic pipette is sold with and operated by an iPad Mini running the MicroPro Controller App. The App is available as a free download in the Apple App Store - the tablet case is not included.

Why are MicroPro tips set into a cartridge?

Tips are pre-loaded in a cartridge during manufacturing in order to guarantee perfect seals every time and dramatically reduce the force required to load tips in the lab. Simply lower MicroPro’s head onto a rack of tips with light pressure and MicroPro securely seals all 96 tips.

Does Rainin MicroPro work with 384-well plates?

Yes, flip the “nest” on the MicroPro automated pipetting system to the 384 side and work with a 384-well plate by quadrant.

Is it easy to set the pipetting depth in small increments to lower the head repeatedly to the same position?

Yes, with a quick “Find container bottom” step, the MicroPro automated pipetting system senses the bottom of any container. From there, tap the touchscreen to raise the head in 0.2 mm (Fine) or 0.6 mm (Coarse) increments and save the desired depth. Use the same setting repeatedly with the same type of container, or set different depths based on the liquid being pipetted.

Is MicroPro light?

Yes. MicroPro is the easiest benchtop 96-channel pipettor to move around the lab at just 5.1 kg – a little over 11 lbs.

Is the user manual for MicroPro super technical?

No, the user manual for MicroPro is written to be simple and clear. It’s built right into the tablet interface and is easy to navigate by touch.
