Latitude Systems Integration Options
The integration options for the Latitude are simpler compared to the Equator. The Latitude is a high-speed, low-volume bulk reagent dispenser. Plates are placed onto the active plate positioner, gripped to align, and then up to two reagents are dispensed to the plate. The Latitude is controlled using methods programmed with the built-in touch screen display. Up to 10 methods can be programmed to control plate type, dispense volume, dispense pattern, and gradient volumes. Once saved, the methods can be controlled remotely using either Deerac Fluidics’ automation package as described above, or by launching the methods via serial commands.
Automation Control Package
Deerac Fluidics supplies an automation control package, A-S Automate, which provides an easy to use interface to control the Latitude or Equator, and a stacker together. In addition several other instruments such as 3 rd party liquid handlers, barcode readers and plate readers may also be controlled by the software at the same time to create an integrated workstation. This is a good choice for set-up of a workstation consisting of a plate handler, Latitude reagent dispenser and plate reader. Support is currently provided for many common instruments and additional support may be added as required.
Direct Serial Control
The Latitude can be remotely controlled using direct serial control. This approach involves developing and storing methods on the Latitude, using the touch screen interface and built-in software. Once stored, these methods can be individually selected and executed using simple serial control commands.
