SHARE

The Mantis Liquid Dispenser is an easy-to-use, microfluidic reagent dispenser designed to deliver highly precise, low-volume liquid handling for 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates. With patented microfluidic technology, the Mantis eliminates the need for pipette tips and complex calibration. It supports independent dispensing of multiple reagents in any combination of wells, making it ideal for assay development, qPCR setup, compound screening, and other high-throughput applications.
