Biotek MultiFlo FX - Multiflo FX Dispenser Comparison

MultiFlo FX Dispenser Comparison
Counting the washer as a potential dispenser, the MultiFlo FX offers three distinct
dispensers. Here is a comparison of the devices:
n For precious reagents use the Peri-pump to preserve unused fluids. It has
the shortest, most visible fluid path, and a Purge capability to reverse the fluid
flow to recover fluid from the tubing. Another advantage is the ability to
dedicate a dispense cassette to use with one reagent only, reducing the
amount of priming required prior to use. And, you can shorten the tubing to
further reduce the dead volume: See Shorten the Dispense Cassette
Tubing on page 61.
n RAD Technologyoffers the best tools for preserving cells and reagents.
n All MultiFlo FX devices are capable of dispensing up to 30,000 µL. BioTek's
recommended maximum dispense volumes are cited here.
