 | PMP monitors and analyzes pipetting for improved security |
The Pressure Monitored Pipetting (PMP) tool is an additional safety option, specifically validated for clinical applications using serum and/or aqueous solutions. Using the PMP, pipetting quality is analyzed online for both aspiration and dispensations. Also faults including clots, air aspiration, not dispensed samples or system leakage can be detected.
The PMP detects errors by comparing recorded and real-time-simulated pipetting pressure signals.
Pressure simulation relies on fluidics, user-defined parameters, such as sample type and pipetting volume, and dynamic fitting of sample type and system specific variations, for example, in sample viscosity and other liquid properties. The measuring data are stored for later analysis, offering sample traceability and considerably increased process security.
Optimized parameters have been validated and fixed for serum and water, allowing fast PMP installation and set-up, and no need for recalibration. The PMP is able to detect the liquid level of conductive and non-conductive liquids, such as organic solvents, with pressure Liquid Level Detection (pLLD).
The PMP highlights are:
