Open your eyes to new possibilities.
The world’s first liquid handling system that can see.
Myra compact liquid handling system
Simplicity
So effortless you won’t even notice it.
A perfectly seamless workflow between the Myra liquid handling system and Mic cycler for qPCR. Run Myra and Mic instruments from the one user interface. No exporting or importing of sample names required. Just setup, run, and analyse all in one location.
Simplified solutions for standard laboratory processes including qPCR, NGS library quantification*, and more*, all available at the click of a button.
Setup experiments for multiple Mic cyclers using one Myra liquid handling system and analyse together in one file using the Project software feature.
Calibrate Myra at the click of a button. No more sticking your head under the hood and eye balling the positions. Myra does it all for you.
Performance
A robot with a vision to perfection.
- Best in class accuracy and precision of less than 10% for 1uL pipetting volumes.
- High precision pipette tip positioning for small aperture tubes such as 384 well plates.
- Pressure based liquid level sensing that can monitor the aspirate and dispense process for errors.
- The first liquid handling system with an integrated camera and state of the art algorithms to enable Myra to see what it needs to do. Myra automates and simplifies pipette calibration and monitors for user errors in deck layout such as missing tubes.
An interchangeable pipette head gives you more flexibility with your workflow. Each pipette head contains its own calibration data removing the need to re-calibrate on each exchange. - Multi-dispense pipetting with greater accuracy to reduce time and save on pipette tips.
- Using 384 well pipette tips means you swap out tips less often.
- Myra now offers the option to vortex, utilizing a high-speed rotating motion of the Myra head to enhance and expedite the mixing of reagents.
Size
A dynamic design with style and function.
At less than 10 kg and a footprint of less than 1700 cm2, Myra is half the size of other in class liquid handling systems. A closed pipette tip waste container minimises the footprint area and reduces contamination risk. UV LED lights and a compact HEPA filter reduce the chances of qPCR contamination. The compact design of both parts reduces size and weight of the Myra unit.
Liquid Handling System Accessories
Introducing an open SBS platform for all consumable types. We offer various blocks, including the Multipurpose block, which can accommodate standard tube formats and provides setup flexibility without sacrificing space. Furthermore, you have the option to expand the library with your own plate or tube type. If needed, our in-house capabilities can even 3D-print blocks to house exotic tubes or plate types upon request.
In addition to these features, the introduction of a Myra magnetic station has unlocked new possibilities, enabling techniques such as magnetic bead-based NGS library preparation. To support a wider range of applications, we also offer various cooling blocks that help maintain lower temperatures for extended periods during sample handling and reactions.

NGS Library Prep and Bead Clean Up
Myra offers semi-automated library preparation – streamlining the workflow, significantly reducing manual errors, increasing reproducibility all while minimizing hands-on time.
Capable of handling up to 24 libraries, Myra incorporates a 96 Well Magnetic Station for bead clean-up steps, with off-deck heating to reduce robotic downtime. The workflow is split into manageable runs, with safe stopping points after the various library preparation steps including bead clean up.
In NGS, repeatability and reproducibility are paramount. The Myra Liquid Handling System can successfully generate high-quality DNA libraries, with performance comparable to manual methods. Sequencing runs show high Q30 scores and consistent barcode balance. Sequencing coverage exhibits uniformity across the prepared libraries, resulting in low library variability and reliable performance. Thus, Myra not only reduces manual labour but also ensures high-quality sequencing results.
See our MyraScript page for a list of all NGS library prep and bead clean up kit templates. Or ask us to automate your NGS protocol.
An intelligent choice for all your automated pipetting.
