Drug Discovery
This is an amazing instrument. It offers the performance of an acoustic dispenser but at a much lower price point. It is a good instrument for a smaller lab that needs to dispense in the 1uL – 25nL range and allows the use of any plate type. For us, we needed something that could fit into our workflow and didn't require the need for changing plate types and the Mosquito was the perfect choice.

mosquito® HTS offers an accurate and easy to use solution which can be applied to miniaturising any assay within an automated, high throughput setting leading to significant savings on precious reagents and time. In conjunction with mosquito HV, the scale of assay miniaturisation can be expanded to cover the range of 25 nL to 5µL.
Benefits of the mosquito HTS include:
- Accuracy – outstanding accuracy with < 2% error throughout the volume range
- Precision – unrivalled precision with CVs of < 3% throughout the volume range
- Speed of set up – quick set-up with no washing
- Flexibility of sample type – precise pipetting across a wide range of liquid viscosities with no changes in instrument setting required
- Serial dilution wizard – simple programming using a serial dilution wizard incorporated into the software
- Minimal dead volumes – access all of your sample: mosquito HTS leaves dead volumes of under 0.3 µL per well
- Compatibly – compatible with all SBS format 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates
- Integration options – can be easily integrated with the mosquito plate processor (MoPP) into a larger screening system
- Cost savings – the ability to use smaller volumes of valuable protein resulting in cost savings and enabling a larger number of screening conditions to be studied
- Small footprint – bench-top instrument
- Ease-of-use – simple robust and walk-up-and-use bench-top instrument
mosquito HTS can be used for miniaturizing a wide range of applications which require a volume range of 25 nL – 1.2 µL, including:
- Preparation of “assay ready” plates for compound screening
- Serial dilutions in miniaturised volumes for generation of concentration response curves
- Plate reformatting, including transfer between different plates types (96-, 384- and 1536-well plates)
- Plate replication
- Molecular biology based applications such as: next generation sequencing, DNA, RNA extraction and PCR/qPCR preparation
