The accurate transfer of liquids depends on their specific properties and other physical parameters. For example, the volume of liquids is affected by the temperature and the ambient pressure, and organic solvents frequently tend to evaporate due to their often high vapor pressure. Density, viscosity and the surface tension of liquids and solutions are additional characteristics which strongly influence the precision and accuracy of liquid handling. The capillary action of a liquid will be significantly determined by its surface tension. The dimensions, shape and material of tips, needles and wells affect formation of drops, meniscus and bubbles.

Liquids which are used in life science research include pure water, media, buffer solutions, DMSO, other organic solvents, protein and nucleic acid solutions, and many other liquids. All must be transferred with high accuracy and precision for satisfactory automation of applications.

The CyBio parallel pipettors CyBi^®-Well & CyBi^®-Well vario, CyBi^®-DiluS^pro, CyBi^®-RoboSpense and the dispenser CyBi^®-Drop are available in many versions with various consumables such as CyBi^®-Tips and CyBi^®-Trays as well as accessories in order to allow for the most appropriate and optimal hardware array for each customer-specific application.
The flexible software of CyBio^®- Composer enables the best adaption to the specific properties of the liquid which are to be transferred.
