Agilent BioTek MultiFlo FX Multimode Dispenser
MultiFlo FX can dispense up to 4 independent reagents into 6- to 1536-well microplates.
Assay development, cell based assays
Great bulk dispenser with sufficient options to expand capabilities. Easy to use, easy to configure. Enough choice in cassettes and tip types to suit your needs, and limited maintenance; cassettes can easily be calibrated. Very easy to fill 96, 384 and 1536 well plates with liquids (e.g cell seeding or reagent), from 1µl up to 100+ µl

Plating cells and ELISA washing
The MultiFlo FX is a workhorse in the lab, it is consistent for plating cells, washing ELISA plates and even for adding fixative to screening plates. BioTek service and sales team are helpful and all issues we have had could be fixed without a service call.

ELISA, plate washing steps
We use the washer extensively. It is very reliable instrument.

ELISA plate preparation
All of the dispensers work great, with the exception of the peristaltic pump system. Often times the tips on the peristaltic pump clog. We dispense 1.5ug/mL IgG in .2um filtered 1xPBS, and then clean immediately with .2um filtered DI H20 and the tips still clog often. Fortunately, Biotek provides you with a plate that allows you to gravimetrically calibrate each channel of the peristaltic pumps. All the other pump/aspirating units work flawlessly. Biotek provides great customer service.

Bulk dispensing of cells and other reagents
We plate up to 30 - 384w plates in a day. I wish the plate loader had a smaller footprint. Reproducibility is good. Menu navigation is easy enough.

Pilot scale microtiter plate coating
Initial validation problems quickly resolved by Biotek on-site visit and subsequent phone calls. Parts are easy to order. Offers versatility and scaleability for pilot lab applications. Replaceable product contact parts and modular design is perfect for multiple design and development projects.

Reagent dispensing
We really like the dispenser especially with the Biostack4. However, we found that the washing function on the machine to be slow and inefficient. In hindsight, we should've add RAD function or syringe pump instead of adding a washing function.

Running ELISAs
Easy to use. Difficulty reducing the amount of dead volume in reagents.

The Agilent BioTek MultiFlo FX is an automated multimode reagent dispenser for 6- to 1536-well microplates. The system incorporates several unique technologies in its modular design, such as Parallel Dispense, random access dispense (RAD), and patented Automated Media Exchange (AMX) modules.
The technologies in the MultiFlo FX microplate dispenser enable many liquid handling applications from 2D and 3D cell culture to concentration normalization assays, ELISA, bead-based assays, and more. A fully configured MultiFlo FX replaces up to five liquid handlers, saving space, time, and instrumentation budgets. MultiFlo FX delivers complete workflow automation in cell imaging and biochemical applications.
