FAQs

• Biolinkron S96: Processes up to 96 samples in parallel with uniform positive pressure across all wells. Designed for high-throughput applications such as desalting, peptide cleanup, and proteomics sample preparation. Flexible configuration accommodates varying sample volumes and formats.
• Biolinkron S8: Offers up to 8-channel processing with precise independent pressure control. Customizable and Adjustable channel spacing ensures compatibility with diverse labware, making it ideal for small-batch experiments, method development, or specialized workflows.

Yes. Biolinkron systems provide advanced pressure and workflow control features:

• Channel operation modes: Full 96-channel simultaneous operation with uniform distribution, or partial-channel modes for smaller batches.
• Pressure control: Adjustable from 10–300 kPa with 1 kPa resolution, ensuring fine control of flow rates. 
• Workflow programmability: Open software interfaces (API/communication protocols) support integration with automated platforms for continuous, unattended extractions.

Biolinkron systems are broadly compatible with standard laboratory consumables::

• ✅ 96-well filter plates (various specifications and formats)
• ✅ Ultrafiltration tubes, pipette tip–based desalting cartridges, and nucleic acid spin columns (with appropriate adapters)
• ✅ Third-party consumables — full flexibility without vendor lock-in

Biolinkron provides a complete set of adapters to ensure compatibility:

• ✅ Pre-installed tip rack holder for 96-well plates
• ✅ Custom adapters available for specialized consumables or workflows

Integration is enabled through open communication protocols and standard interfaces:

• ✅ Compatible with automation platforms such as Opentrons FLEX and other robotic systems
• ✅Enables end-to-end automation of sample preparation, supports fully automated SPE workflows, including conditioning, equilibration, sample loading, washing, and elution

No. While advanced users may program custom workflows via open protocols, most laboratories can operate the system code-free:

• ✅ Intuitive touchscreen interface with graphical workflow control
• ✅ Delivered pre-configured with optimized methods and designed for ease of use, even by non-technical staff

Yes. The system provides ultra-high precision suitable for microliter-scale workflows:

• X-axis positioning accuracy: ±0.004 mm
• Z-axis positioning accuracy: ±0.002 mm
• Pressure control range: 10–300 kPa with 1 kPa resolution

Biolinkron systems support a broad range of omics and analytical applications:

• Genomics: nucleic acid purification, plasmid extraction
• Proteomics: peptide desalting, phosphopeptide enrichment, post-translational modification studies
• Metabolomics: small-molecule purification and enrichment

• Daily: Wipe trays to remove residual liquid; recalibrate X/Y axes and verify motion accuracy
• Monthly: Calibrate pressure sensors (automated self-check program available)

1. Verify that the input pressure is higher than the output pressure
2. Check consumables for clogs or blockages
3. Review the error code displayed on the touchscreen interface
4. If the issue persists, contact Biolinkron technical support
