Description
The BioMicroLab VolumeCheck 384 is a high-speed, non-contact liquid volume detection system designed to measure sample levels in 96-well, 384-well, and 24-well microplates and tube racks. Utilizing advanced acoustic/ultrasonic sensor technology, the system rapidly scans an entire plate without touching or contaminating the samples. It is widely used in high-throughput biobanks, screening labs, and compound management facilities to verify sample volumes, detect missing samples, and quality-check liquid handler dispensing before downstream processing.
Features:
-
Non-Contact Ultrasonic Sensing: Measures liquid levels without tip immersion or sample contact, eliminating cross-contamination and reagent waste.
-
Rapid Plate Scanning: Scans an entire 384-well plate in approximately 1 minute (and 96-well plates in under 45 seconds).
-
Wide Labware Compatibility: Compatible with standard SBS-format 24, 96, and 384-well microplates, deep-well plates, and uncapped tube racks.
-
Volume Verification & QC: Identifies over-filled, under-filled, or empty wells, outputting precise liquid volume data for liquid handler calibration and inventory control.
-
Intuitive Software: Includes standalone control software with customizable labware definitions, volume calibration curves, and seamless LIMS data export (CSV/Excel).
-
Automation Ready: Compact benchtop footprint with a robotic-accessible plate nest for integration into automated workstations.
