96-head Dispenser:

96- or 384-channel positive displacement syringe heads with flexible Nitinol-needles
Head volumes of 100, 250, 500, 1000 Μl available
Dispense head can be exchanged easily within minutes for servicing
Dispense volumes down to 100 nl with a CV < 5 %

Single Channel Dispenser:

Optional non-contact nano-dispenser drive: can accommodate 1, 2, 3, or 4 channels to deliver volumes as low as 50 nl with a CV < 5 %
For set-up of sitting drops, hanging drops and microbatch reactions
< 50 sec. to dispense protein and screen to the small wells or hanging drop seals
The speed of dispensing the screen and protein eliminates the problem of evaporation even when dispensing as little as 100 nl
Gradient dispensing possible
Nano dispenser can dispense viscous liquids up to 30 % glycol or 20 % PEG4000
