Sophion Bioscience provides advanced products and integrated solutions for automated patch clamping, used for functional characterization of living cells. Their products are used in pharmaceutical, herbicide and insecticide industries around the world.
Using the Xantus as the robotic core, the QPatch systems feature integrated cell preparation and provide many hours of unattended operation.
The Xantus robotic platform provided “ready to go” proven liquid handling performance, which, together with OEM support from Sias, helped to minimise time to market. Sophion utilized many of the Xantus’ superior features in their design of the QPatch systems, for example:
Sophion's new QPatch HT
The open architecture of the Xantus allows integration of elevators beneath the deck that delivers QPlates to the processing area, for extended unattended operation
The upgradeable 4-tip pipetting arm offers customers the opportunity to upgrade their QPatch system to provide higher throughput performance
Intelligent pipetting management software, together with individual Y and Z control of each pipetting tip improves pipetting efficiency, and helps improve sample throughput
Sophion’s QPatch systems can screen thousands of compounds every day with minimal operator intervention, and offer significantly higher throughput and reduced cost per data point compared with traditional patch clamping.
