Description
The FlexDrop™ iQ™ Non-Contact Dispenser provides rapid, consistent, and flexible dispensing from up to 96-source positions into 96, 384, or 1536 well plates with a dead volume of less than 1 μL.
- Non-contact dispensing- eliminate carryover and cross-contamination
- Dead volume < 1µL- conserve valuable reagents in (i.e.) NGS or qPCR assays
- 8 nL to mL dispense volume range, 80 uL max volume FlexDrop source plates
- Fast- dispense 10 nL into 96 wells in 10 seconds, into 384 wells in 20 seconds
- Smart - Simultaneously dispense from 1 to 8 wells (a column) to 96, 384 or 1536 well plates
- Built-in droplet verification- verify liquid was dispensed
- Multiple Liquid classes- including aqueous, DMSO (up to 100%), glycerol (up to 50%)
- Automation compatible
The FlexDrop iQ platform uses positive pressure in eight independent controlled channels. Each channel can dispense up to 100 droplets per second. It generates droplets between 8 nanoliters (nL) and 50 nL in size to achieve the target dispense volume. The system includes droplet verification, which verifies the exact number of droplets have been dispensed and provides a verification report post-run. The proprietary source well plate features 100µm hole at the bottom which facilitates the droplets under positive pressure.
The touch-screen software control is seamless and simple to use. No previous programming or automation experience is needed. Users can set-up and start dispensing in minutes.
