MicroFill Microplate Dispenser
MicroFill™ offers an economical, compact, and reliable alternative to existing microplate dispensers. Accurate and precise dispensing are guaranteed without the time-consuming recalibration, cassette replacement, and maintenance commonly associated with other dispensers available today. An autoclavable model is also available for those applications requiring a sterile fluid path.
Using BioTek's vast expertise in liquid handling, MicroFill™ incorporates a microprocessor controlled syringe pump for optimal performance. 96-, 384- and 24-well standard microplates and deep well blocks are accommodated with flexible volume ranges from 5 µL to 6,000 µL per well. MicroFill's compact footprint makes it ideally suited to fit inside laminar flow cabinets. The user-controlled dispense flow rates allow low- to high-velocity dispensing for any application.
Superior Performance in 24-, 96- and 384-well Plates
MicroFill repeatedly delivers reagents with a range in sample viscosities. Typical performance is 1.5% CV at 80 μL.
