mosquito - Model HV genomics -Multi-Channel Positive Displacement Pipetting System
mosquito HV genomics offers highly accurate and precise multi-channel positive displacement pipetting from 500 nL to 5 µL allowing genomics researchers to benefit from miniaturization and automation across a range of applications, irrespective of liquid class. The instrument’s pre-sterilized disposable pipettes eliminate cross-contamination and maintain data integrity while the rapid plate-to-plate pipetting motion and tip exchange maximize speed and efficiency.
Accurate and precise multi-channel positive displacement pipetting to advance genomics research
High performance at a fraction of the cost
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.
Our liquid handling portfolio provides you with accurate and repeatable nanolitre to microlitre pipetting, every time, irrespective of liquid viscosity or environmental conditions.
Our Technology
High performance technology
Our liquid handling instruments harness innovative technology to streamline workflows and accelerate research.
Robust, reliable, and easy to use, our products overcome tough technical challenges and enable researchers to focus on the best science.
Positive Displacement
Each of our disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston, not an air gap or system liquid, offering true positive displacement pipetting with no risk of cross-contamination. mosquito gives researchers the confidence to handle a range of liquid types from organic solvents to aqueous buffers with 50% glycerol.
Volumetric performance
The mosquito HV genomics offers high performance pipetting from 500 nL to 5 µL. It combines outstanding accuracy with an average of less than 3% error throughout the volume range and unrivaled precision with average CVs of 3%.
Our Software
Our application led software combines usability and functionality with an intuitive user experience tailored to each scientific application. Through collaboration with scientists, our software team develops and enhances the instrument UI to provide the optimal user experience and facilitate adoption into novel application areas.
Integration
mosquito integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation, including robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid handlers to extend capabilities and further streamline workflows.
The mosquito Plate Processor (MoPP) is an off-the-shelf compact benchtop workcell using the popular PreciseFlex PF400 plate handling robot and Revolution scheduler to simplify integration with third party equipment.
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.

Accurate and precise low volume pipetting for genomics research
Highly accurate and precise low volume pipetting in the 500nL – 5µL range. mosquito HV genomics efficiently harnesses innovative positive displacement technology and easily handles even challenging sample materials such as genomic DNA or enzymes in 50% glycerol using standard microwell plates.
mosquito HV genomics can be easily programmed to run a wide range of protocols, and enables researchers to aspirate, dispense, and mix in a wide variety of common 96 and 384 microplate formats.
Disposable, pre-sterilized pipettes guard against cross-contamination to ensure data integrity and accurate research outcomes.
mosquito HV genomics offers sample transfer, reagent addition and efficient mixing with rapid tip exchange, reducing time consuming processes and increasing efficiency.
The ability to set up reactions at a fraction of the traditional volumes maximizes reagent use and preserves precious samples to increase research output. Miniaturization transforms genomics processes including NGS library preparation, magnetic bead cleanup, cDNA synthesis, whole genome amplification, PCR and qPCR.
Application-enabling accessories such as cooling blocks, magnetic blocks and environmental protection, plus software wizards for many common protocols, provide assured access to robust and proven applications.
