Improved High Throughput with Cost-Saving Results
The cost of high-throughput sample processing with automated liquid handlers (ALH) is an expense most labs can't afford. This new workflow solution is designed to save costs and improve the number of samples processed per week. In the revised workflow, the Multidrop Combi Dispenser replaces the aspiration and dispense step. Instead of using a pipette for a mixing step, this is replaced by sealing the microplate, shaking for ~30 seconds, and spinning for ~30 seconds. With the dispensing speed of the Multidrop Combi Dispenser and with the 4 plate positions of the Compact Digital Microplate Shaker, labs can process 4 plates per reagent faster than it would take using an ALH.
