Scorpion Slide PreparaƟon Robot

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: The Scorpion Slide Preparation Robot is a liquid handling robot designed to automate the preparation of chromosome and MicroFISH slides. It aims to reduce manual pipetting errors by precisely dispensing microliter volumes of cells or probes onto 1-12 slides.
Specifications: The robot operates at 100 to 240V, consuming 300W of power. It has dimensions of 28 x 19 x 19 inches and weighs 90 lbs. The slide capacity is 12 slides, organized in two 6-slide trays.
Features: The Scorpion can prepare 12 chromosome slides in under 10 minutes and 12 MicroFISH slides in under 30 minutes. It controls humidity for optimal chromosome spreading, prevents sample/probe mix-ups, produces detailed patient reports, and tracks probe inventory. The system is compact with a footprint of 19x19 inches.
Applications: For G-banding, it dispenses fixed cells in a humidity-controlled environment. For FISH, it dispenses fixed cells and probe reagents, ready for MicroFISH slide coverslipping and hybridization. Patient information can be entered via barcode or manually, and the system provides detailed reports and score sheets for slide readers.
Included Equipment: The package includes the Scorpion robot and a desktop PC. Software for MicroFISH and Chromosomes is available separately.
Workflow Integration: The Scorpion integrates with the CytoBrite® System for denaturation, MicroFISH® Hyb Oven for incubation, and Little Dipper® for automated washing in the MicroFISH assay workflow. It also supports automated G-banding in chromosome analysis workflows.
