Logiciel Liquid Handling Control

Liquid Handling Control™ (LHC™) Software is a powerful yet flexible interface for use with BioTek's new 405™ Touch Microplate Washer,  EL406™ Washer Dispenser, market-leading ELx405™ Washer, and MultiFlo™ Dispenser.  Full PC control provided by LHC Software leads to increased convenience when programming important assay-specific protocol requirements in a familiar Windows® environment. Any programming sequence possible onboard the washer or dispenser may be duplicated from the computer with LHC. With intuitive StepWise™ protocol creation, even novice users will find LHC Software easy to use.

21 CFR Part 11 compliance

To meet the demands of the GxP laboratory, LHC™ Secure offers features to ensure compliance to the U.S. FDA's 21 CFR Part 11 directive.  Flexible multi-user permission levels and electronic protocol and system audit trail signing are all available whenever additional security is required. 

Expanded versatility, Automatic protocol validation 

LHC Software allows an unlimited number of methods to be linked together for the most complex liquid handling routines. From an instrument’s first prime routine, multiple microplate processes over time, an ultrasonic cleaning to dissolve protein or salt crystal build-up to a final system rinse, LHC Software enables unattended operation.  Protocols are automatically validated to ensure feasibility and compatibility with the selected instrument. 

Dual mode control

Dispense protocols can be created and run from the PC or downloaded to the instrument’s keypad.  This is particularly useful when the liquid handler is installed in a biological safety cabinet.  Protocols can be locked to avoid unintentional keypad modifications. 

Custom maintenance reminders

To facilitate maintenance and keep a washer or dispenser in peak condition, factory recommended maintenance procedure reminders can be preset and customized appropriate for a busy laboratory’s usage and throughput requirements. 

Safe record keeping

Protocol parameters may be printed for safe record keeping.  Alternatively, onboard instrument protocols are able to be uploaded and backed up on a laboratory’s network.  Satellite research labs working on joint projects can be certain their wash parameters are identical for experimental integrity. 

Automation

For batch processing applications, LHC Software supports BioStack™ Microplate Stacker integrations. Robotic integration of BioTek washers or dispensers to commercially available robotic systems is also seamless with Liquid Handling Control. Minimum System Requirements:
