mosquito - Model Gen3 -High-Performance Positive Displacement Pipetting System
As the most compact and accessible member of the mosquito family, mosquito Gen3 brings the benefits of miniaturization to all. The instrument delivers highly accurate and precise multichannel pipetting down to 500 nL, across even the most challenging and viscous liquids thanks to its true positive displacement technology. Pre-sterilized individual micropipettes eliminate cross-contamination and rapid plate-to-plate pipetting motion and tip exchange maximize speed and efficiency.
mosquito’s unique nanolitre liquid handling technology enables you to perform ‘traditional’ liquid handling tasks at a fraction of the volume, and at higher speeds. The instrument uses positive displacement, disposable micropipettes to handle low volumes of liquid in plate to plate, or intra plate transfers using contact dispensing. Each of mosquito’s disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston, not an air gap or system liquid, for true positive displacement pipetting.
Software that`s intuitive by design
The liquid handling software that controls the mosquito family of instruments gives users an intuitive experience tailored to their application area.
Developed in collaboration with scientists, the latest mosquito software facilitates miniaturization in novel application areas. Packed with powerful features, the software includes an experiment designer and helpful wizards to create and manage your protocols.
Looking to maximize productivity? Partner mosquito Gen3 with our dragonfly® discovery non-contact dispenser and form the `dynamic duo` - a proven combination for miniaturized NGS workflows.
mosquito Gen3 harnesses true positive displacement technology to deliver unparalleled accuracy even when working with the most challenging sample materials, from 500 nL - 5 µL.
You don`t need to sacrifice premium lab space to realize the benefits of automation and miniaturization. mosquito Gen3 brings proven positive displacement technology in our smallest benchtop footprint, at less than 55 cm wide!
mosquito Gen3 bring the benefits of miniaturization to all. Running reactions at a fraction of the volume maximizes research output and extends the use of precious reagents and samples, transforming NGS and PCR workflows.
Program mosquito to your required protocols with capabilities for aspirating, dispensing, and mixing. Seamless integration with robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid dispensers further extends mosquito`s capabilities and streamlines workflows.
Individual disposable pre-sterilized pipettes remove any risk of cross-contamination, ensuring data integrity and accurate research outcomes.
Quick and easy setup for any application
Accessories including cooling blocks, magnetic blocks and environmental protection, along with software wizards for many common protocols provides quick access to a wide range of applications.
