Make your lab work seamless.
Why do you need a liquid handling system?
A liquid handling robot is an automated device designed to handle liquids accurately and efficiently in laboratory settings. It enables precise dispensing, mixing, and transferring of liquids, reducing human error, and increasing productivity. These pipetting robots play a crucial role in various scientific and medical research applications. A liquid handling instrument is no longer considered a luxury but rather an everyday tool for laboratories around the globe.
The world’s first liquid handling system
that can see.
Perfect performance for
a precise job
The key to excellent data starts
with accuracy and precision. With our state-of-the-art pipetting head offering < 1% at 5μL volumes, Myra will ensure you have confidence in your results.
Save time on the
tedious tasks
Reclaim your time with other important jobs. Myra is so precise and speedy, you’ll never have to worry about inaccuracies.
Easy Setup
Our Myra is the first liquid handling system with an integrated camera to help simplify robot calibration and setup. With an easy user interface that can integrate seamlessly with the
Mic. Just setup, run, and analyse all in one location.
Smaller size means more
space in the lab
At less than 10 kg and a footprint of less than 2 ft2, Myra is half the size of other liquid handling systems in its class.
Simplicity
Streamlined solutions are available for standard laboratory processes, encompassing qPCR, normalization, pooling, cherry-picking, and straightforward liquid transfers, even for 384 well plates. To tackle more intricate procedures such as NGS library preparation, cell media washing, or determining minimal inhibitory concentrations for antibiotic susceptibility or resistance, you can harness the power of Python-based scripting functions.
Pressure based liquid level sensing that can monitor
the aspirate and dispense process for errors.
Keeping an eye on the job
With an integrated camera and state-of-the-art algorithms, Myra can see what it needs to do. This capability will enable Myra to monitor for user errors in deck layout, such as missing tubes*.
You can calibrate the Myra pipetting robot at the click of a button, eliminating the need to stick your head under the hood and eyeball the position. Thanks to the integrated high-precision camera, achieving calibration on a liquid handling system has never been this easy. Simply click to the middle of the tube image, and let the software do the rest.
Furthermore, you can calibrate only what you need, saving valuable time. Why spend all day calibrating tubes you won’t even use? The Myra liquid handling software will only require calibration of tubes that are in use.

Performance
Myra is a liquid handling robot designed to perfection.
The Myra liquid handling system boasts best-in-class accuracy and precision, with deviations of less than 2% for 2μL pipetting volumes. This remarkable precision is achieved through closed-loop axis control, which relies on optical encoders and advanced path planning. As a result, you only need to calibrate positions once, ensuring consistent and high-precision pipette tip positioning, even for small aperture tubes like 384 well plates. This, in turn, reduces the frequency of tip changes.
Additionally, the interchangeable pipette head provides you with greater flexibility to meet all your liquid handling requirements. Each pipette head contains its own calibration data, eliminating the need for recalibration with each exchange. Furthermore, Myra now offers the option to vortex, utilizing a high-speed rotating motion of the Myra head to enhance and expedite the mixing of reagents.
Size
Myra is a dynamic liquid handler designed with both style and function in mind. It weighs less than 10kg and boasts a footprint of less than 2ft2, which is half the size of other instruments in its class.
Furthermore, a closed pipette tip waste container not only minimizes the system’s footprint but also reduces the risk of contamination. The inclusion of UV LED lights and a compact HEPA filter further decreases the likelihood of contamination. This compact design is applied to both components, resulting in a reduced size and weight for the Myra liquid handling system.
Liquid Handling System Accessories
Introducing an open SBS platform for all consumable types. We offer various blocks, including the Multipurpose block, which can accommodate standard tube formats and provides setup flexibility without sacrificing space. Furthermore, you have the option to expand the library with your own plate or tube type. If needed, our in-house capabilities can even 3D-print blocks to house exotic tubes or plate types upon request.
In addition to these features, the introduction of a Myra magnetic station has unlocked new possibilities, enabling techniques such as magnetic bead-based NGS library preparation. To support a wider range of applications, we also offer various cooling blocks that help maintain lower temperatures for extended periods during sample handling and reactions.
Feel free to reach out and inquire about enhancing your Myra liquid handling system – we’re here to help you explore the full potential of your setup.
Automate qPCR on the Mic Cycler
Experience a perfectly seamless workflow when connecting the Myra liquid handling system with the Mic cycler for qPCR. Both instruments can be operated from a single user interface, eliminating the need for exporting or importing sample names. Simply set up, run, and analyze your experiments all in one convenient location. What’s more, you can configure experiments for multiple Mic cyclers using a single Myra liquid handling system and analyze the results in a unified file using the Project feature.
But we don’t limit our offerings to just qPCR. You can also take advantage of simplified solutions for NGS library preparation, normalization, and pooling.
