Acoustic Dispensing
Our Acoustic Liquid Handlers employ acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) and Dynamic Fluid Analysis (DFA) technologies to transfer various fluids, enabling contact-free acoustic transfers as small as 2.5 nL accurately and reliably. This enhances assay precision, minimizes hazardous waste generation, reduces plasticware costs by up to 75 % per year, and significantly minimizes reliance on single-use plastic pipette tips. This contributes to a decrease in plastic waste and a smaller carbon footprint.

- Tip-based liquid handling solutions – These are versatile, flexible, and walk-away solutions that can handle different reagent volumes, sample sizes, and lab equipment integrations.
What factors should I consider when purchasing a liquid handler?
The factors to be considered when purchasing a liquid handler include:
- Typical sample volumes that would need to be handled - To choose the best fit for a liquid handler, in terms of configuration and specifications, the minimum and maximum sample volume is an important consideration to ensure efficiency. For instance, applications that may have vastly variable sample volumes require extremely flexible and robust liquid handling solutions.
- Type of process and the downstream requirements – The process type, the throughput needed, and the various steps output required, decide the level of automation and integration required.
- Susceptibility to contamination – It is important to consider the level of contamination resistance required for the chosen workflows and sample sizes to then make the right choice of sample probes, dispensers, pipettes, etc. in terms of the material, rinsing capabilities and contact or no-contact solutions.
What types of liquid can your liquid handling robots handle?
