Biotek MultiFlo FX - Peri-Pump Dispenser; Syringe Dispensers

4 | Chapter 1: Introduction
l Programmable dispense volumes, and a wide range of wash options, from gentle
washing for cellular assays to vigorous washing for ELISA.
l A “bottom washing” routine to lower the background absorbance and “crosswise” or
secondary aspiration to reduce residual volumes.
l Supports Wash, Prime, Dispense, and Aspirate steps.
l Several predefined protocols are provided to simplify preventative maintenance, which
should be performed regularly to ensure optimum washer performance.
Peri-pump Dispenser
l A peristaltic pump with eight individual tubes transfers fluid from a supply bottle, or up
to eight different supply bottles, to various vessels. The pump has four rollers over which
the tubing is stretched.
l The tubing is contained in an easy to load and unload cassette that is attached to the
pump head. The pump’s protective cover must be in place to run a dispense routine.
l Three tubing sizes are available: 1 µL, 5 µL, and 10 µL for the most precise dispensing of
volumes from 1 to 30,000 µL and 0.5 µL dispenses when using a 1 µL cassette.
l RAD™ Technology models support "random access dispensing" with several single-
channel cassette options, including a bulk dispensing cassette (8 tubes to one chute) with
flow tracking to minimize turbulence in the wells.
l Autoclavable tubing (steam temperatures and pressures of 121° C and 1 bar
(750 mmHg)) is compatible with 70% ethyl or isopropyl alcohol and 0.5% sodium
hypochlorite (bleach) solution for easy maintenance.
Syringe Dispensers
l The Syringe dispenser has a long-lasting seal that ensures precise and accurate fluid
delivery, as well as reproducibility for repeated dispenses.
l Two syringe pumps support distinct fluid sources and dispense manifolds:
o
16-channel: one tube per well for 384-well plates and two tubes per well for 96-
well plates.
o
32-channel: one tube per well for 1536-well plates.
o
8-channel (two manifolds in one block): one tube per well for both 96- and 384-
well plates.
l Autoclavable components can be used with organic solvents and provide easy
maintenance.
l Does not require recalibration
