To
use our pin tools on the Beckman FX Robot you will also need to
purchase from Beckman their Tool Body Kit p/n719894 which contains a CD
with an HDR patch that will convert FX software from v2.1 to v2.2 so
the FX can be programmed to accept the different V&P pin lengths.

Beckman FX & NX Gripper
This Mounting Plate allows
the FX Gripper hand to register to the mounting plate notches for
precise location control. Now the FX can pickup any V&P
Pin Tool on the fly. You
simply program the FX to perform all the transfer, wash and blot
functions. Because the Gripper can pick up and park the pin tool
robotically, the Gripper can continue to do other plate handling
functions with out operator intervention. |

Although this mounting plate is compatible
with PerkinElmer
MiniTrak, PlateTrak and EP3 Robots we recommend that
you use the special pin resetting mount sold by PerkinElmer
or our non-pin resetting mount with rotational adjustment
feature. Please also note that the PerkinElmer pin tools have
floating frames with different attachment sites and different
dimensions from our standard floating frames. These differences
allow them to be used with specific docking stations on the PerkinElmer
robots. |

The
rotationally adjustable Mounting Plate for hook mount plates.
The photo on the right illustrates the bottom of a Carl Creative
Systems Hook Mount plate that has been modified so it can be
rotationally adjusted. When customers use the BMPMULTIMEK with a
1536 pin tool they need to be able to make very fine rotational
adjustments so the pins are placed in the center of the wells. It
is essential when using on 1,536 well plates. We also
recommend using it on the 384 pin tools when positional accuracy is
necessary. The BMPMULTIMEKR allows you to do that.
This
rotational version of the BMPMULTIMEK is compatible with many robot
systems including:
Beckman MultiMek Robots
Sagian

The BMPTECAN384 (ordered as a BMPTECAN384-10, BMPTECAN384-11, or BMPTECAN384-12), is a Basic Mounting Plate for Pin Tools used on a Tecan Freedom EVO robotic instrument with the MCA384 Head. Each of the three BMPTECAN384s has a magnetic ID on the top surface that identifies for the EVO the specific BMP in use and by association the specific Pin Tool that is
attached.
|
|
| |
The BMPTECAN384 is attached to the Pin Tool via the black BMPMID bridge plate, which is included with the BMPTECAN384 (both shown in photo to the right). |
|
 |
|
| |
The BMPTECAN384 attached to the Pin Tool is used with the VP 550E Docking Station, as shown in the photo to the right. The VP 550E is first positioned on the EVO deck and the BMPTECAN384 plus Pin Tool is set on top. In this configuration, the MCA384 Head can pick up and drop off the Pin Tool on the fly via the attached BMPTECAN384. |
|
 |
|
| |
The third photo on the right shows how the Tecan MCA384 Head picks up the Pin Tool via the BMPTECAN384.
The BMPTECAN384 series is also available with the rotational adjustable feature for use with 1536 and 384 Pin Tools as BMPTECAN384R-10, BMPTECAN384R-11, and BMPTECAN384R-12. Each BMPTECAN384R includes the BMPMIDR Bridge Plate with rotational adjustment. |

fixture.
Perkin Elmer Rotational Mounts and Hamamatsu standard mounts, require
a similar but different Bridge plate to attach to the Perkin Elmer
floating fixtures. This plate is provided at no extra charge with
the above mentioned mounting systems.

Our
Robotic floating Pin Tools can easily be converted to a manual pin
tool with this simple BGPK kit which contains a
Guide Pin Frame with 16.75 mm long guide pins (BGP) and
a handle with a sturdy mounting plate (BMPM) The guide pins are used with our
Library Copier (VP 381N) and
membrane registration accessories (VP 382 and
VP 382B) to
keep the pins in the center of the wells and to make high
density arrays on membranes or agar surfaces. If you already have a manual pin tool you can easily reverse the process and attach it to a robot mounting plate.

The BGPKL kit is used when
longer replicator pins are used like the
Pins for Floating Pin
Replicators
pins which are 63 mm long. A pin tool with FPAM
pins is illustrated in the photo to the right. In order to
accommodate these longer pins we need to use a longer and more sturdy
guide pin found on the BGPL frame. These larger guide
pins are 3.17 mm in diameter.
Each
of the kits on the right (BGPKL and BGPK) is made up of
a handle, a manual mounting plate and a guide pin frame. The
guide pin frame is the only difference between the two kits. If you already have a manual pin tool you can easily reverse the process and attach it to a robot mounting plate.
