mosquito LV streamlines compound handling and assay miniaturization workflows with automated, high-throughput operation and offers highly accurate and precise multichannel pipetting from 25 nL to 1.2 µL.
The easy-to-use instrument enables significant time and reagent savings through low-volume pipetting and ultra-low source dead volumes for a rapid return on research investment.
High-speed, low-volume serial dilutions increase throughput while reducing waste.
The mosquito LV is the perfect liquid handler for low-volume serial dilutions, minimizing waste and maximizing throughput. Using less than 2 µL of the precious stock compound, mosquito LV prepares a full dilution curve and dispenses it into multiple assay plates in minutes. With the ability to aspirate, dispense, and even mix in any SBS plate type or format, mosquitoes offer exceptional versatility, even at low volume across screening applications.
Rapid plate reformatting and replication increase efficiency
mosquito LV enables easy and accurate reformatting between 96-, 384- and 1,536-well microplates. By replicating multiple mother plates directly into low-volume assay ready plates within 1.5 minutes per plate, the instrument reduces the burden of traditionally time-consuming processes.
Create acoustic-ready plates to complement acoustic screening workflows
mosquito LV complements and enhances acoustic screening workflows by rapidly creating acoustic-ready semi-direct or serial dilution plates through rapid pipetting of high nL volumes with no plate inversion.
True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
mosquito LV harnesses innovative positive displacement pipetting by using disposable micropipettes with individual pistons to deliver exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class.
Disposable pipettes ensure assay integrity
Disposable pipettes guard against cross-contamination and assure the integrity of your assays and the quality of your research outcomes.
Walking up and using technology streamlines user experience
The user-friendly instrument and software interface are accessible for even novice users, minimizing operator training time and simplifying setup.
