MultiFlo FX Microplate Dispenser

Source: BioTek Instruments, Inc.

MultiFlo™ FX is an automated multi-mode reagent dispenser for 6- to 1536-well microplates, offering BioTek’s unique Parallel Dispense™ technology. Up to four independent reagents are dispensed in parallel without potential carryover. The choice of peristaltic or syringe pumps allows reagent conservation and unattended operation down to 500 nL with low maintenance and low consumable costs.

MultiFlo FX becomes a versatile multi-mode dispenser with the addition of either the RAD™ technology for random access dispensing to 6- to 384-well plates and rapid high volume dispensing into low density microplates, or the wash module for 6- to 384-well plate washing.  A MultiFlo FX configured with either RAD™ technology or the wash module replaces up to five liquid handlers, saving space, time and instrumentation budgets.    Dispense operations are optimized for sensitive cell based assays:  angled dispense tips and flexible flow rates keep cells intact, and walk away automation is available with BioStack 4 for handling lidded or non-lidded plates. Extensive on-board software is accessed from the large color touch screen for fast, easy programming and operation, and integrated USB ports are available for convenient file transfer and storage.  MultiFlo FX meets the liquid handling demands of today’s laboratory with its unique feature set.
