Norwegian Sequencing Centre enhances multiomic workflows with automated liquid handling

NGS library preparation and PCR/qPCR workflow, active in various scenes!

◆ Equipped with different dispensing heads 　・Supports 96ch / 384ch / 8-channel / 16-channel chips, multi-channel dispensing head (apricot-head) 　・Independent 3 or 6 channel non-contact dispensing head (dragonfly-head) In NGS library preparation, sample transfer, mixing, and supernatant removal (bead purification) are handled by chip-type dispensing heads, while the addition of various reagents such as buffers and enzymes is managed by non-contact dispensing heads. This enables low dead volume, significant reduction in chip consumption, increased speed, and space-saving (reduction in the number of required chip racks). Additionally, the dragonfly head can dispense from 200nL, allowing for the execution of micro-volume protocols. It also supports screening in general drug discovery. With a compact design (W 660 x D 560 x H 800 mm), it contributes to solving space issues in laboratories. Screening, high throughput. Compatible with high viscosity and high density. For applications such as NGS library preparation, DNA/RNA extraction and purification, etc.

High versatility, high viscosity is also not a problem. Positive displacement non-contact dispenser.

The Dragonfly Discovery is a new non-contact dispenser that employs both positive displacement technology and disposable syringes. With its high versatility and user-friendly software, it can accommodate various assays and research with just one unit. ● Positive Displacement Technology This method uses a piston to push out the liquid. It allows for accurate dispensing of various solutions, such as those with viscosity and surface tension, without the need for class settings for each liquid. Examples: 80% glycerol, 50% EtOH, cell suspensions, etc. ● Supports Various Assays With intuitive dedicated software, you can easily design dispensing for biochemical assays, cell-based assays, bead-based assays, and more. It is also possible to control dispensing time, perform normalization, and dispense in a gradient-like manner. ● No Contamination Using disposable syringes eliminates the risk of carryover and cross-contamination. This dispensing machine has high versatility, suitable for DoE (Design of Experiment), ELISA, three-dimensional cell culture, protein crystallization assays, and more.

• Automatic Dispensing Device

For dispensing applications of several hundred nL!

The "mosquito HTS" is a robust nanoliter-scale dispensing device that employs a positive displacement method. It not only allows for precise aspiration and dispensing but also enables accurate mixing, making it suitable for various applications. By minimizing the sample volume in sample management workflows and genomics research, it contributes to cost reduction. ● Cost reduction through miniaturization and low dead volume With its accurate dispensing mechanism, it handles precious samples and expensive reagents in small volumes while minimizing dead volume, significantly reducing running costs. ● Reduced hands-on time and improved reproducibility through automation With rapid and precise operation, it eliminates dispensing errors and cross-contamination caused by human error, enhancing reproducibility. ● Improved data reliability through increased sample size The benefits of miniaturization extend beyond mere cost savings; it allows for multiple experiments to be conducted in parallel, thereby enhancing data reliability. ● User-friendly The easy-to-use software makes the protocol creation process very simple.

The "Mechanical Stitching Method" by Nichinichisui Road Machinery Co., Ltd. is a new technique that allows for the repair of metal cracks without the application of heat. By using special bolts and reinforcement plates, cracks are physically removed, and repairs are made without causing any thermal impact to the base material. Repairs can be carried out in environments where open flames cannot be used. Since no heat is applied, the disassembly of equipment is minimized. ◎ For more details, please contact us. ◎ If a detailed technical explanation is needed, please contact us.

On September 11, 2025, AC Tasarim, a cable blade manufacturer, and our company signed a sales agency agreement for Japan. This was also announced in the company's press release and on social media. Founded in Turkey in 2003, AC Tasarim manufactures flexible EMI cable shields (copper braid), polyester braid, meta-aramid braid (Nomex cable sleeves), flat copper braid busbars/ground braids, all AA59569-coded copper braids, and released AeroBraid in 2025, the world's lightest EMI braid. All manufactured copper braids are certified to military standards. AC Tasarim products hold key certifications including VDE/VG certification, German Federal Armed Forces certification, NATO NSN coding, AS9100 quality certification, and JOSCAR certification. Cable braids and EMI shielding products, essential for wire harnesses in the aerospace and defense industries, are becoming increasingly difficult to source as demand rises. TC Tasarim products are stocked by manufacturers and distributors to ensure quick response times.

Starting from September 22, 2025 (Monday), we will begin accepting orders for five new lineups tailored to various applications in the "N-SELECT" series of transport vehicles. In this new development, we will introduce the following five models that maintain the basic performance of the traditional N-SELECT while addressing more specialized needs: SC (Super Carrier) - Based on the traditional N-SELECT, this model is specialized for transporting immobile and accident vehicles. It is ideal for the automotive maintenance and towing industry. RC (Racing Carrier) - Designed with a gentle loading and unloading angle, this model is perfect for transporting sports cars and lowered vehicles. TP (Transporter) - A standard model optimized for the transportation of general passenger vehicles, suitable for a wide range of industries. ONE (Single Vehicle Loading Model) - A simple and efficient design dedicated to loading one vehicle. Recommended for small-scale transport and individual entrepreneurs. RS (Rescue) - A single vehicle loading model equipped with a crane, enhancing its capability to respond in accident scenes and tight spaces. With these lineups, N-SELECT evolves into a product group that meets a wider variety of on-site needs. We will continue to promote product development that reflects the voices from the field as the "preferred transport vehicle."
