Tempest® - High-Throughput Liquid Dispenser
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)
- Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assays (ELISA)
- Polymerase Chain-reaction (PCR) Workflows - Real-time and Digital
- Biochemical assay development and screening
- Cell Culture and Bead-Based Assays
- Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) - Library Preparation
