The MicroSIA is the epitome of sequential injection. This minimalistic and robust instrument uses a single syringe pump to push, pull, and mix liquids in your assay. This pump, paired with an injection valve and our unique manifold, can automate protocols that would otherwise require laborious pipetting and liquid-handling.

This instrument has been especially popular in many biochemical, radio-nuclear, environmental, and research applications. Our line of SIA analyzers is used for more than sample analysis. Many assays, particularly biochemical assays, require rigorous sample pretreatment. The SIA analyzers are great at moving samples and reagents through complex, articulate pathways. They can easily move samples through heaters, chillers, protein columns, and anything else you might think of. This is all Python scripted, automated, and monitored on-line.

Let us know what liquid-handling protocols are taking up your time – we’ll automate them.
