HAMBURG, Germany, May 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — MGI Tech Co., Ltd. (MGI), a company dedicated to developing core tools and technologies that drive innovation in life sciences, is proud to unveil its latest innovation, PrepALL, a flexible liquid handling system, along with the latest version of the Smart8 at SLAS Europe 2025, taking place from May 20–22 in Hamburg. Featuring advanced robotics, AI integration, and modular platforms, MGI’s automation portfolio addresses critical challenges in genomics, drug discovery, synthetic biology, and molecular diagnostics—empowering labs of all sizes to scale research efficiently.
PrepALL: Compact, Affordable Automation for Flexible Pipetting
The PrepALL Flexible Liquid Handling Platform simplifies complex laboratory tasks while maintaining enterprise-level performance—without the high costs typically associated with traditional systems. Compact yet powerful, PrepALL is ideal for laboratories adopting automation for the first time or scaling existing research capacity.
PrepALL
Key Features Include:
- Space-saving design: Occupies just 0.7 m², with 16 SBS deck positions (expandable to 41).
- High-precision pipetting: 8 independent channels support 0.5–1200 µL volumes with CVs (coefficients of variation) of less than 3% (1–50 µL) and <1% (50–1200 µL). It supports pLLD/cLLD, liquid level tracking, and anti-dripping, so that it reduces dead volume and improves pipetting accuracy.
- Plug-and-play setup and easy to use: Integrated with a visual system, it can achieve automatic consumables identification and automatic position calibration
- Full traceability: Built-in sensors and data logging ensure reproducibility and consistency.
Leveraging advanced vision-based AI, PrepALL delivers high-precision performance in critical applications such as nucleic acid extraction, plasmid construction, sample preparation, and NGS library prep. Designed for global accessibility, it addresses cost and complexity barriers with a scalable, modular design and open APIs. Ideal for both entry-level and high-throughput environments, PrepALL empowers smaller labs to scale without costly infrastructure overhauls.
“PrepALL represents a major leap in lab automation, giving labs of all sizes the ability to streamline complex workflows with unmatched affordability and reliability. It’s a bold step in our mission to democratize cutting-edge tools and accelerate scientific discovery worldwide.” said Dr. Christian Zimmerman, VP of Sales at MGI Europe and Africa.
