Detail
Product Characteristics
Simple fluid pathway--Reduces dead volumes (~65ul) and tip blockages
Auto-clean function--Reduces tip blockages
Dispensing from 10nl volumes--Miniaturises assays
Precise and consistent dispensing (0.7% CV at 500nl)--Improves assay data (independently verified)
Drop-on-drop capability--Repeatable dispensing positioning, to within 20um
Dynamic fluid range--Capably handles DMSO, proteins, crystallography, oils, matrigels, surfactants, cells and beads
Limitless patterns--Dispenses into 96-, 384-, 1536- and 3456-well microplates, evaporation wells, non-standard plates, microarrays and slides
Fast--Fills a 1536-well plate in under 10 seconds (on-the-fly)
Flexible--Suitable for a wide range of applications, handling up to 4 different reagents simultaneously
Small footprint--Ideal for today’s laboratories (footprint of just 750 square cm)
Low on-going running costs--Simple low volume fluid pathway, easy to maintain and clean
Open platform--Ideal for integration into a robotic platform
Application Fields
The Preddator’s unique versatility and reliable performance makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications, including and not limited to high throughput screening, stem cell research, protein crystallography, MALDI spotting and PCR.
It can accurately dispense most biochemical reagents, even those containing cells, detergents (without foaming), oils and grease
It will fill any microtitre plate with up to 3,456-wells, as well as plates with peripheral evaporation wells and reservoirs
It can be programmed to dispense in any pattern, even curves
It can also dispense on to other assay surfaces, including glass slides.
