Stephan, We have used Multidrops many times in our systems with great success. Fast and reliable. As for shaking, we provide robotic incubators with a...
Hi Steve, There is a new product on the market for cell manipulations and it is called Opticell. The developer has also automated the system for using...
The Multidrop has been the industry standard for cell dispensing for a long time because it is a peristaltic pump based dispenser, fast, impressively precise...
Stephen: I've used Labsystems Multidrop384 (it is a peristaltic pump) in the past for this purpose with an adherent cell line. To avoid problems with the cells...
A lifelong biochemist, I have recently been charged with automating a cell based assay. Can anyone share their experience about what type of liquid handling...
Hi Stephen: I suppose a lot depends on the nature of the cells you are working with (adherent vs. non-adherent for example) but one thing that comes to mind ...
Hi Steve, You may want to look at the MultiDrop from Titertek. This instrument is very simple to use, can dispense to 96 w/p and 384 w/p, and can be...
Hi all! We are also looking for possibilities to print directly on slides as possible with Leica IPS (this one can be adressed as a Windows-printer; so in...
Hi Sebastian, One of your considerations is throughput As a low cost instrument the MPII with 8 tips will do the job. They have a stacker which integrates into...
Hi Group, Can one place enough devices around a single cylindrical robot (ie Twister, Plate Crane etc.) to create a workcell that can complete a typical ELISA...
