ATS Low-Energy Acoustic NanoDispensing Transfer System
Miniaturize liquid handling with acoustic dispensing
Expand your capabilities with the ATS Acoustic Transfer System from EDC Biosystems. Now, you can reliably miniaturize your discovery lab, cell-based assays, and gene sequencing preparation while reducing your waste, time and costs.
The ATS transfers chemical and biological liquid-based materials with precision and control unlike any other liquid handling device on the market.
- Dispense any liquid with a viscosity of 20 cP or less including aqueous buffers, DMSO, glycerol solutions, organic solvents, or even cell and protein suspensions.
- Transfer volumes from 1nL - 2.0µL+. (Larger volumes increase transfer times.)
- Fully user-tunable. Extremely flexible and application friendly.
- Accuracy and precision of <10% CV. True Non-contact TechnologyTM performance is unaffected by the remaining source volumes or empty neighboring wells.
- Real-time detection of acoustic transfer quality and remaining liquid volumes in source wells.
- Continuously drain source wells from top to bottom without interruption.
- Lowest true dead/starting-volumes (i.e., <0.5µL 3456; <1µL 1536; <2µL 384) in the industry.
- Use conventional off-the-shelf 96, 384, 1536, or 3456 wellplates (subject to qualification) as a SOURCE. Dispense into or onto practically any destination.
- No re-washable pins or disposable tips. Never directly contact the fluid of interest in any way.
- No print heads with fixed-spacing or volume-specific tip sizes to deal with.
- Create non-contact arrays; even on top of existing ones.
Perform well plate reformatting, compound library screening, assay development, cherry-picking, and serial dilutions (IC-50’s) in and out of 384, 1536 and 3456 well plates. Alternatively, the nanodispensing device can be used to produce arrays, even difficult ones such as proteins, complex lysates, tissues, and whole blood. Utilizing the ATS Low-Energy Acoustic Technology, even the successful transfer of live cells is possible.
The ATS nanodispenser is easily integratable and can be combined with other laboratory equipment to create a complete Screening, Cell-Based Assay, or other Laboratory Research System. The system can be integrated with the Biosero Biostack and Biotrack system to provide expanded walkaway capacity. SHOWN BELOW: ATS integrate with Wasp sealer and Kinedx robot arm.
