Artel offers the DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide) reagent solution for use with the company’s MVS Multichannel Verification System. The solution enables users to accurately calibrate and verify DMSO dispenses. DMSO is widely used for storing and transferring small-molecule compounds during high-throughput screening campaigns. Because DMSO has distinct physical properties, it behaves differently from water when handled by air-displacement pipettors and acoustic droplet ejectors. This new Artel solution enables DMSO solvent-specific volume verification. The MVS is a universal system that verifies the volume-transfer performance of automated liquid handling systems and multichannel handheld pipettes. The MVS consists of equipment, software, sample solutions and highly characterized microtiter plates. The system is suitable for liquid volume measurements from 0.1 to 350.0 μL in a 96-well plate format or from 0.01 to 55 μL in 384 wells.
