Tempest®High-Throughput Liquid Dispenser

SHARE
The Tempest is a flexible reagent dispenser designed to rapidly deliver highly precise, low-volume dispensing across 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates. Using patented microfluidic technology, the Tempest enables you to dispense as many as 12 different reagents simultaneously by utilizing 96 independently controlled outputs. Dispense any volume, of any reagent, into any well.

Benefits 

  • Precision: Uses non-contact microfluidic technology, ensuring high accuracy and precision across a broad range of reagent types, including cells and beads
  • Speed: Dispense up to 12 reagents across 96 individually controlled nozzles in just seconds. e.g., 200 nL to a 96-well plate in 3 seconds; 1 μL to 384-well plate in 5 seconds. Fill a 96-deep-well plate with 2 mL per well in under 2 minute.
  • High Throughput: Stackers and barcode reader for automated high throughput screening workflows
  • Flexibility: The Tempest supports diverse inputs (pipette tips, tubes) and reagents (cells, beads, harsh chemicals), and is compatible with all SBS plates.
  • Low Dead-Volume: Non-recoverable dead volume as low as 48 μL per chip
  • Cost Savings: Miniaturize assay design to reduce reagent usage, while tip-free, easy-to-clean components eliminate the need for consumables
  • Biosafety Cabinet Compatible: With its compact dimensions (555 mm x 309.67 mm x 266.56 mm), the Tempest can be used in various biosafety cabinets to accommodate workflows that require this level of safety
  • Automation-Friendly: Integrate with external systems effortlessly with a network API


Broad Range of Applications:

  • High Throughput Screening (HTS)
  • Assay Development and Design of Experiment (DoE)
