The MUP-3100 reliably implements pretreatment using the Auto-EZGlyco mAb-N Kit for SHIMADZU protocol. This eliminates
human errors, such as forgetting to add the reagent, taking the wrong sample, or omitting a process.
Automatic Confirmation of Consumables Positioning Supports Stable
Operations
Automation of the Entire Process
With the MUP-3100, mistakes are prevented by checking the sample and necessary reagents positioning via image processing prior to
automated operations. The automated protocol will be paused if the sample, reagent, or consumables are missing. Even during
automated operations, pipette tip attachment/detachment and the column grip are monitored by sensors, preventing malfunctions.
