Robotic reagent dispenser Multidrop™ Combi nL

for microplatesfor researchfor cell cultures

Product overview
Thermo Scientific™ Multidrop™ Combi nL reagent dispenser provides high-precision, consistent high-throughput dispensing for laboratories across a volume range of 50 nL to 50 µL. The Combi nL is a bulk reagent dispenser for nano- to micro-volume dispensing and extends the market-leading Multidrop family to enable accurate, high-precision low-volume dispensing for pharmaceutical and biotechnology labs.

Main features

• Dispenses small volumes to 96-, 384- and 1536-well plates across a volume range of 50 nL to 50 µL.
• Delivers high-quality assay data.
• Enhanced flexibility – repeat dispense to plates while varying height; FILLit software enables filling by rows, columns, or individual wells.
• Simple dispensing operation – visual icon-based onboard user interface simplifies setup, use, and maintenance.
• Reduces reagent costs – low-volume dispensing, minimal dead volume, and backflush reduce consumption of costly reagents.
• High throughput – fast dispensing integrated with full robot compatibility increases assay throughput for labs requiring low-volume assay formats.

Recommended applications
Assay development, primary and secondary screening, genomics and proteomics research, PCR setup, sequencing setup, cell-based assays.
