The MicroFill™ Microplate Dispenser offers an economical, compact, and reliable alternative to existing microplate dispensers. With its microprocessor controlled syringe pump, the MicroFill guarantees accurate and precise dispensing into 24-, 96- and 384-well microplates without the time-consuming recalibration and maintenance commonly associated with other dispensers available today.

The Fluorescence Test Plate consists of an anodized aluminum body in a microplate format, with Inert Organic Fluorescent Compounds embedded in polymerized matrix. It is designed to be used on BioTek’s FLx800™ and Synergy™ Multi-Detection Readers. This multi-functional test plate is ideal for GLP compliance while reducing the need for tedious “wet” testing.

The Synergy™ HT utilizes a unique “dual-optics” design combined with monochromator wavelength selection to provide uncompromised performance in absorbance, fluorescence and luminescence reading modes.

The MicroFlo™ Select Dispenser is the latest development in dispensing technology offering superior 6- to 1536-well microplate dispensing flexibility in one compact instrument. In fact, it’s the first instrument of its kind to offer a wide range of choices in dynamic dispense volumes (1 µL – 10 mL), microplate types, sample tube sizes, and automated dispense height adjustment, along with a full range in cassettes to accommodate dispensing requirements now and into the future. The proprietary cassettes each incorporate the appropriate tubing, tip properties and accurate dispensing technology to deliver full and reproducible incremental volumes of liquid within its specified volume range, even after numerous autoclave cycles. What’s more, each cassette design is backed by our Confidence-Plus™ unconditional lifetime warranty.

Liquid Handling Control™ (LHC™) Software is a powerful yet flexible interface for use with BioTek's liquid handlers including the market-leading ELx405™ Microplate Washer, MicroFlo™ Select Dispenser and EL406™ Combination Washer Dispenser. Full PC control leads to increased convenience when programming important assay-specific protocol requirements in a familiar Microsoft Windows® environment. Any programming sequence possible from the instrument's keypad may be duplicated from the computer with LHC. Additionally, LHC allows an unlimited number of methods to be linked together for the most complex wash or dispense routines. With intuitive StepWise™ protocol creation, even novice users will find LHC easy to use. Protocols are automatically validated to ensure feasibility and compatibility with the selected instrument. For safe record keeping and GLP compliance, protocol parameters can be printed. Alternatively, onboard instrument protocols can be uploaded and backed up on the laboratory’s network. To facilitate maintenance and keep a liquid handler in peak condition, custom maintenance reminders can be programmed for busy laboratories.
