We are creating the future of health
By providing the finest liquid handling technology to scientists and lab technicians around the world, DISPENDIX is creating the future of medicine. Liquid handling technology enables new discoveries in areas such as drug development, diagnostics and synthetic biology. We believe that technological advances and science are made for each other. Good technology simplifies science.
Our story
DISPENDIX GmbH, the premier provider of noncontact liquid handling solutions in the nano to microliter range, started out in 2016 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA) in Stuttgart, Germany.
In 2018, DISPENDIX joined the world’s leading bio convergence company BICO, which now encompasses 900+ colleagues and 11 companies, offering a portfolio of technologies, products and services to create the future of health. Part of that portfolio is DISPENDIX’s patented and widely recognized technology, the I.DOT, which brings intuitive automation, precision and speed to every lab, allowing scientists to optimize liquid handling workflows and accelerate their research in a range of applications.
Advanced liquid handling solutions
We want to make the world a better place. Yes, this sounds ambitious, but with our state-of-the-art technologies, we can positively impact the world of medicine and improve the lives of so many patients. We combined our expertise, curiosity and motivation to develop our well-known I.DOT device, one of the easiest and most efficient solutions for liquid handling tasks the world has ever seen.
We are growing!
In 2020, the DISPENDIX team grew by 400%, and we increased our office space from 390 to 3,200 square meters. Our coffee consumption also increased significantly, so we had to invest in an additional coffee machine. Now we consume about 2,000 cups of coffee per month. In other words, we are well caffeinated and prepared to achieve even greater things!
