Learn about our new approach for nano to microlitre liquid handling tasks
Our I-DOT Technology
By applying a well-defined pressure pulse on top of the well a droplet is formed and a high precise and accurate nanoliter droplet is released into or onto nearly any destination. Larger volumes are achieved by applying up to 400 pulses per second. The “Immediate Drop on Demand Technology” (I-DOT) is a new approach for nano to microlitre liquid handling tasks.
It uses a patented noncontact pressure based dispensing technology. The general principle is simply based on a hole in the bottom of a microtiter plate well. Capillary forces keep the sample liquid in the cavity.
Advantages
Non-contact, no pipetting tips, means no carry-over and cross contamination
Incredible dispensing accuracy and precision
Low dead-volume
High volume range from 2 nl up to 80 µl
Ultra-high dispensing speed
Works with a variety of liquids, including aqueous solutions, DMSO, glycerin, cell suspensions, PCR-buffer and many more
