Dual Wash Stations
The dual wash stations built into the MANTIS allow for easy sterilization during dispenses.
One station can be used for bleach or acceptable sterilization solutions for sterilization,
while the second station contains water for a final rinse.
The 3-step wash option is also available for a more thorough way to sterilize the MANTIS
chips using both water and wash solution. When you select this option, the MANTIS will
always wash its liquid lines with water, then wash solution, then rinse again with water.
Extended Plate Height Clearance for Deep Well Blocks
The dispense head of the MANTIS has clearance of up to 54 mm for dispensing into deep
well blocks.
Patented Microfluidic Dispensing Technology
At the core of the MANTIS is a patented microfluidic valve cluster that can measure and
dispense discrete volumes of liquid. Pressure and vacuum are used to open and close
each valve on the silicone valve cluster. This chip has two micro-diaphragms (100 nL / 500
nL or
1 µL / 5 µL depending on the chip option) that can fill and dispense as fast as 10 times per
second.
Integrated Ingredient Holders (optional)
The MANTIS comes fitted with removable ingredient holders that allow ingredients in 50
mL falcon tubes to sit safely during the dispense with no need for additional racks or risk
of tipping/spilling.
