Lindau, Germany: – Laboratory engineering specialist DORNIER LabTech Systems GmbH (DORNIER LTS) will stage live demonstrations of its remarkable personal pipetting robot PIRO® at the 2017 qPCR & Digital PCR Congress in Philadelphia, USA.

DORNIER LTS is both a sponsor of the event and an exhibitor, with its stand at the Pennsylvania Exhibition Center featuring latest developments of the groundbreaking PIRO® personal pipetting robot, featuring the powerful software for qPCR and related molecular biology life sciences applications, as well as other applications as MALDI-TOF, HPLC and Crystallization.

Live demos

The conference team, headed by product specialist Florian Glaser and Joel Lopez, DORNIER LTS Sales Director for The Americas, will conduct live demonstrations of the PIRO® system. A customer who purchases a PIRO® within the following 3 months after the show would qualify to receive a PIRO® console free of charge. “We will be bringing a series of powerful offers to potential end users and laboratory heads looking for a fully traceable pipetting solution with precise and reproducible automation of their pipetting steps,” said Florian Glaser.

Full traceability

“We’ll be able to show how PIRO®´s supervision of all pipetting steps and pipetted volumes provides perfect traceability for all PCR fields in research and diagnostic applications,” added Joel Lopez.

“The system provides a perfect solution for any lab needing easy import or export possibilities for their pipetting results from or to LIMS systems or other instruments,” said Mr. Lopez, who is based at Kinematica, Inc., in Bohemia, NY.

About qPCR & NGS 2015

From its inception in 2004, the annual qPCR conference has reflected growing application of real time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), digital PCR (dPCR) and Next Generation Sequencing (NGS).

The 2017 event is a five-day event opening July 24 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, with co-located Microfluidics Congress and NGS & Clinical Applications Congress.

The events attract a largely scientific audience of more than 500 delegates from all over the world, to hear presentations across three tracks featuring molecular biology/diagnostics, gene expression, genomics, biomarkers, pathogen detection, and miRNA analysis.

The conference will provide an interactive networking forum to develop and answer queries, as well as an exhibition room for technology providers to showcase latest solutions, poster presentation sessions, and expert led case study presentations.
