Reagent dispensers

PreciseDrop and BioRaptr low volume reagent dispensers

Reagent dispensing into microtiter plates is a process of delivering precise amounts of liquid and reagents into wells of microplates for various applications, such as biochemical assays, cell culture, drug screening, and diagnostics. Whereas reagent dispensers are instruments that can automate this process, they also help improve accuracy, speed, and efficiency. Certainly, there are different types of low volume dispensing instruments, such as peristaltic pump dispensers, syringe pump dispensers, and microfluidic chip dispensers. However, each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the volume range, liquid type, plate format, and throughput required

Basically, for low volume dispensing, a number of liquid handling systems exist. Generally, for the best performance, reagent dispensers for microtiter plates, a dedicated device is recommended. Hence the PreciseDrop II and BioRaptr2.0 instruments were designed to meet the speed and flexibility requirements of low volume dispensing, especially nanoliter and low microliter reagent and cell dispensing applications.

Indeed, the PreciseDrop II is a reagent dispenser that provides a low cost solution to filling micrometer plates with reagents, cells, buffers, and much more.. Above all, the systems use the latest in engineering design and technology. Lastly, for those who already have an older BioRaptr, an upgrade path that includes hardware and software, brings these systems up-to-date with features users have asked for.
