The QFill2 from Genetix Ltd (New Milton, UK) is a simple, versatile microplate filler which has been specifically designed for sterile applications. It is ideal for dispensing bacterial growth media. The entire flowpath can also be removed and autoclaved to ensure sterility between runs.
The instrument is suitable for use with both 96 and 384-well plate formats. It can fill a 384-well microplate in under 10 seconds with a CV of less than 5%. A range of manifolds offers the ability to use microplates of differing depths, including deep-well blocks. Addition of an optional stacker system allows unattended filling of up to 35 microplates.
