Nanodrop™ I

The Nanodrop I is an 8-channel, high-precision pipetting instrument that enables rapid, non-contact dispensing of reagents into 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plate formats. The Nanodrop aspirates and dispenses a broad range of liquids, including DMSO, by utilizing a technology that isolates the solenoid actuator from the sample path. The result is a robust, flexible liquid handling system that dispenses 100 nL through 40 µL, with CVs below 5%, measured across 8 tips. The instrument also offers an RS-232 interface and a user-friendly GUI that is readily integrated into fully automated systems. trong> offers the

The Nanodrop I is based on patented technology owned by Innovadyne Technologies, Inc.
