Cell Dispensing System

The dispense and manifold system of the Cell Dispense rapidly plates adherent or non-adherent cell suspensions with accuracy and reproducibility. Using a standard viability assay, cell suspensions retained 99.2% of cell viability post-dispense. Manifold design allows cells to be evenly plated across the bottom of the wells of 96, 384 microplates. Unit footprint is small; it can be placed in a laminar flow cabinet to maintain a sterile environment. A validated sterilization process virtually eliminates cell carry-over and bacterial contamination for this application. For higher-throughput environments, the unit can be supplied with a microplate stacker system for unattended dispensing into as many as 35 microplates. Cell Dispense plus QStack system can automatically remove the lids, dispense into the wells and then lid the plate as it shuttles to and from Cell Dispense. The Cell Dispense and QStack system can also fit into a laminar flow cabinet.
