Fast Liquid Transfer Down to Picoliter Levels with Tecan’s D300e

Tecan has introduced the D300e Digital Dispenser for applications that need faster, reliable dispensing down to picoliter volumes. This innovative, simple-to-use device is ideal for the creation of assay plates, and can cut set-up times from hours or days to just minutes. Users can choose between dispensing aqueous solutions in combination with a surfactant – for the investigation of proteins, antibodies, enzymes and nucleic acids – and DMSO, for small molecule studies, offering greater flexibility for life sciences workflows.

The system’s sophisticated yet simple software guides you through every operation, minimizing training times and problem-solving call-outs, and providing straightforward set-up of enzyme profiles, dose-response curves and synergy studies. Even the most complex experimental plate layouts – such as drug-drug interaction studies – can be quickly and easily generated, with optional randomization to reduce the impact of edge effects and increase data integrity. The D300e is compatible with a wide range of microplate formats from 12 to 1,536 wells, including deep-well plates and, for maximum flexibility, can even accommodate SBS-format tube racks.
