The MP9600-200PH is the 5–200 µL pipetting head for the AutoMATE Automated Pipetting Workstation (MP9600 chassis family) — sold. NEW PRODUCT FAMILY: AutoMATE automated pipetting accessories — interchangeable volume-range heads for the MP9600 workstation chassis. Lower-volume head (5–200 µL); sister 100–1000 µL head MP9600-1000PH.
Author confidence note (MEDIUM): The AutoMATE chassis itself (likely MP9600 anchor SKU) is not in the BS folder yet. No specific MP9600 brochure in available corpus. Confirm exact pipetting accuracy / precision specifications, channel count (typical 8 / 12 / 96 multi-channel heads on automated workstations), tip compatibility, and chassis-mounting fit with Benchmark Scientific tech support.
Voltage options: This unit can be ordered with European voltage requirements (230V/50Hz). Contact us to order.

Why a Volume-Range-Specific Pipetting Head
Automated pipetting workstations match pipetting heads to sample volume ranges for accuracy:
- 5–200 µL head (this product) — covers most molecular biology / sample-prep volumes (qPCR setup, dilutions, plate-prep)
- 100–1000 µL head (sister) — covers larger-volume workflows (extraction, larger sample transfers)
Operators swap heads to match the volume range of the current workflow — single chassis serves both sub-µL and milliliter-scale workflows.
Pick the MP9600-200PH 5–200 µL when:
- Workflow involves qPCR / molecular biology sample prep at standard low volumes
- 96-well / 384-well plate preparation with standard reagent volumes
- High-precision low-volume pipetting (better resolution at low volumes than the 100–1000 µL head)
Step up to MP9600-1000PH for 100–1000 µL workflows — extraction, larger transfers.
Bundle both heads for full volume-range coverage on the same chassis (some workflows benefit from quick head swaps mid-protocol).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What volume range does the MP9600-200PH cover? A: 5–200 µL — most molecular biology and sample-prep volumes (qPCR setup, dilutions, plate prep).
Q: Should I choose the 200PH or the 1000PH head? A: Pick the MP9600-200PH for low-volume, high-precision work; step up to the MP9600-1000PH for 100–1000 µL extraction and larger transfers.
Q: What chassis does this head fit? A: The AutoMATE Automated Pipetting Workstation (MP9600 chassis family) — confirm chassis-mount fitment with Benchmark Scientific.
Q: Can I run both heads on one chassis? A: Yes — operators swap heads to match the workflow's volume range, so a single chassis covers both low- and higher-volume protocols.
Ordering & Configuration
Confirm AutoMATE chassis SKU pairing with Benchmark Scientific tech support — head must match chassis-mount fitment.
Plan tip-format compatibility — pipetting heads pair with specific tip families.
Confirm at quote: chassis pairing, intended workflow volume range, tip-format compatibility, and lead time.
Warranty: Per Benchmark Scientific standard capital-equipment terms.
AutoMATE pipetting head pair: MP9600-200PH and MP9600-1000PH. Pick by workflow volume range; bundle both for full-range coverage.
