FOREACH SMTP4 500 μL air-displacement pipetting pump

Pipetting Module with Automatic Tip Ejection for Sample Aliquoting

SMTP4-500 μL is an air displacement pipetting module for sample aliquoting, with a nominal capacity of 500 μL. It can be integrated into sample preparation equipment and automated dispensing units for transfer to multiple vessels, diluent addition and reagent dispensing.

The product uses disposable tips and supports automatic tip ejection. The integrator supplies drive electronics, positioning axes and process control. Specify a separate sensing arrangement if liquid-level, blockage or tip-status monitoring is required.

Typical Applications:

Sample aliquoting, Diluent addition, Automatic tip ejection

Typical applications

SMTP4-500 μL is an air displacement pipetting module for sample aliquoting, with a nominal capacity of 500 μL. It can be integrated into sample preparation equipment and automated dispensing units for transfer to multiple vessels, diluent addition and reagent dispensing.

Sample preparation: sample aliquoting

Transfer the sample into multiple vessels according to the target aliquot count and volume. The host can implement separate aspiration and dispense cycles; one aspiration followed by multiple dispenses requires checking the program, available travel, total delivery and method allowances. Verify first, intermediate and final aliquots separately.

Dilution workflows: diluent and buffer addition

Add diluent or buffer to the sample vessel according to the recipe, coordinating sample and diluent addition. The dilution ratio depends on delivered volumes; mixing is a separate instrument step. Recheck parameters after changing liquids or tips.

Instrument integration: tip handling and axis motion

Match tip loading, pipetting and ejection paths to the tip part number, rack position and vessel layout. Automatic tip ejection still requires coordinated instrument motion. Confirm sealing, loading and ejection forces, and mechanical travel for the selected tips.

Application selection inputs

Provide minimum, routine and maximum working volumes, liquids, tip part numbers, vessels and target cycle time, then define drive and sensing arrangements. Select against the model's resolution and usable capacity and validate accuracy and repeatability under actual conditions. Drive resolution is not a minimum reliable transfer volume or an accuracy specification.

Frequently Asked Questions

500 μL is the nominal capacity; 0.25 μL/step is drive resolution, not a minimum reliable transfer volume or an accuracy specification. Working-volume selection must also account for usable tip capacity, method allowances and actual delivery performance with the intended liquid.

Measure each delivered aliquot using the actual tip, liquid, aliquot volume and motion sequence. For one aspiration followed by several dispenses, first confirm host-program and travel support, then check the first, intermediate and final aliquots separately. The current SMTP4 table is not separated by pump capacity and provides no model-specific multiple-dispense results; SMTP2 results cannot be transferred to this model.

SMTP4 has a stepper motor and supports automatic tip ejection; the equipment integrator provides the drive electronics and process control. The current series comparison does not list SMTP2’s integrated communication, liquid level detection and drive control as standard SMTP4 features. Specify sensors, interfaces and control arrangements separately if level, blockage or tip-status feedback is needed.

The datasheet lists TECAN tips for the standard configuration and customization to customer requirements, but it does not identify every compatible tip part number. This is not blanket compatibility with all TECAN or other-brand tips. Confirm the specific part number, dimensions, sealing and loading/ejection motions, then validate pipetting with the actual liquid and instrument.

List minimum, routine and maximum working volumes, then compare actual error, repeatability and cycle time at those volumes. The 100 μL configuration is a candidate for smaller-volume tasks; the 500 μL configuration is a candidate for larger individual transfers. Check tips, method allowances and installation constraints as well. Capacity or drive resolution alone does not determine performance.
