The patented Union Biometrica (Holliston, MA) COPAS™ Technology Platforms are the only fully-automated systems for high throughput analysis, sorting, and dispensing of small model organisms, seeds, pollen, as well as "large" particles such as combinatorial chemistry beads. The COPAS instrument enables researchers to measure objects by optical signatures including density and size, and by the presence of fluorescent markers. Today, scientists are relying on automated COPAS™ Technology Platforms to answer demanding research questions without compromising the need for viability, purity, yield, or quantification.
The COPAS platform is designed for the in-flow measurement of objects ranging in size from 20 – 1500 microns. Each COPAS model features a specially engineered fluidic path and flow cell optimized for a specific subset of that size range to provide maximum speed, accuracy, and throughput depending on application. Most instruments can dispense objects either in bulk receptacles or multiwell plates
