Deerac Fluidics Awarded European Patent No. 1379332

Deerac Fluidics has been awarded European Patent No. 1379332 for “Liquid Droplet Dispensing”. This patent covers the key elements of the proprietary Spot On™ technology offered by Deerac Fluidics in the Equator™ and Latitude liquid handling systems.

According to Professor I. V. Shvets of Trinity College, "This patent covers the mechanism that facilitates the superior accuracy of Spot On technology in dispensing across the large volume range from over 50 microlitres to less than 50 nanolitres".

Deerac Fluidics is a global leader in the development and production of reliable, robust and user friendly liquid handling solutions, enabling the dispensing of microlitre and nanolitre volumes of a wide range of fluids. Using its proprietary Spot-On™ technology, Deerac provides superior application focussed solutions for high throughput, low volume assays in genomics, proteomics and HTS.

The Equator™ series enable low-dead-volume liquid handling, capable of aspirating and dispensing screening reagents from 0.05-50 microlitres. In addition to assay assembly and primary screening applications, the flexibility of Equator makes it useful in assay development as well as secondary screening and lead optimization.

Deerac Fluidics’ Latitude is a high speed, low volume bulk reagent dispenser for high throughput applications. The Latitude enables dispensing of 1-4 reagents at volumes down to 0.05µL in a non-contact mode using the proven Deerac Spot-On dispense technology.
