Benefit

Assay miniaturization

Increase compound efficiency – use up to 10 times less reagent and sample with low dead volume
Digital dispensing – precisely dispense consistent amounts of fluids into assay plates as low as 11 pL
Reduced labware waste – direct dilution in assay plate results in up to 90% labware waste reduction compared to traditional analog serial dilution

Improved efficiency and sample integrity

40x greater speed – eliminate several workflow steps and achieve typical dose experiment in 15 seconds instead of 10 minutes by analog serial dilution
Decreased hand-pipetting steps – minimize repetitive motion injury and re-work commonly caused by manual pipetting errors
Non-contact dispensing – disposable dispensing heads avoids carry-over and contamination
Application-focused wizards – simple, yet sophisticated PicoIT software helps enhance throughput and limits repetitive work due to manual pipetting errors
Speed up qPCR workflows – pre-prgrammed protocol templates for a selection of Thermo Fisher Scientific qPCR Master Mixes automatically customizes fluids for each qPCR component
Complete traceability – PicoIT software tracks reagent amount and dispensing time for each well after each run, enabling complete sample and compound traceability

Powerful, flexible and easy-to-use

Dispense any volume in any well at any time – ultimate flexibility allows automation of even the most complex protocols
Simplify assay set up with PicoIT software – flexible and intuitive experiment design is made possible even for most complex plate layouts (drug combination/synergy, titration of one or multiple components)
Dispenses DMSO, aqueous fluids, and PCR master mixes – flexible for ideal applications with large or small molecules into any well of any microplate
Supports a variety of throughputs and reagent number variations – 8-well format Pico 8 Dispenser enables automation of complex multireagent/sample assays even in 1536-plate format
