Redd and Whyte has launched the Preddator S1 instrument, designed to dispense of low volumes of cells, beads and biochemical reagents into 96- to 3,456-well plates.
The Preddator will be demonstrated at Elrig Drug Discovery 2010 in Coventry, UK, on 1-2 September and at Miptec 2010 in Basel, Switzerland, on 20-24 September.
Low volume pipetting (20nl-100 ml) of cells, beads and biochemicals is used routinely in drug discovery and research applications.
The Preddator ensures highly accurate and repeatable dispensing of biological materials into most types of microtitre plate, including those with peripheral evaporation wells and channels.
Redd and Whyte's technology is based on concepts already used in industries such as printed-circuit-board manufacturing, industrial inkjet printing and robotics used in the automotive industry.
