Precise cell dispensing into 1536-well plates
19 Jun 2006Cell Dispense is a compact, versatile and practical solution for delivering precise quantities of viable cells in culture media into multiwell plates. 96-, 384- and now 1536-well plates can be used with the system. Produced by Genetix Ltd (New Milton, UK), a leading provider of automated systems for cell biology, the unit’s dispensing action has been optimised for cell viability while maintaining high volumetric performance standards.
A small footprint means the instrument fits easily into laminar flow cabinets. It has a volumetric range of 1 µl to 350 µl and can be used with different sizes of reservoir. Dispensing is rapid at less than one minute per plate.
Although specifically designed for the dispensing of cells, Cell Dispense can also be used for the delivery of culture media and screening reagents. Coupling with an optional stacker system, QStack, extends the capacity of the stand alone unit to allow unattended plate delivery and lid management. For more information, view the article webpage.
