Dispensing without loss of cell
viability
Valve and manifold system eliminates damage to cells associated with traditional pump and valve mechanisms, allowing for fast, automated cell dispensing
The Aliquot low-volume liquid dispenser with automated stacker from Genetix allows for the controlled dispensing of cells The Aliquot's unique valve and manifold system eliminates damage to cells associated with traditional pump and valve mechanisms, allowing for fast, automated cell dispensing while maintaining an equivalent viability to that seen with manual procedures, says Genetix

Automated dispensing of mammalian cells and media
Applications note discusses and demonstrates how low-volume liquid dispenser overcomes the major issues involved with automated dispensing of mammalian cells and culture media
The unique design also ensures that cells are dispensed evenly across the well.
Mammalian cells are increasingly being used for processes such as protein and antibody production, pharmaceutical screening and toxicity testing.
These applications are routinely carried out in 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates.
In addition, there is a need to accurately dispense multiple small volumes of sterile medium as well as cell suspensions.
With these small volumes the process is both tedious and inaccurate if done manually.
Compact in design, fitting easily into a standard laminar flow cabinet to maintain sterility, the Aliquot is ideal for rapidly and reproducibly dispensing liquid or suspensions in the 1-350ul range into all the plate formats listed above.
Fitted with additional automated stacker the Aliquot can be programmed to handle up to 30 microplates, including lid removal and replacement, providing true walk-away high-productivity and convenience. Request a free brochure from Genetix ...
