Formulatrix MANTIS Dispenser
The Mantis is adept at pipetting very small volumes (down to 0.1 µL) with high precision and little to no dead volume (6 nL). The potential cost savings in reagents alone are significant, not to mention the reduction in hands-on time. Experimental reproducibility would also benefit from using the system.
The Mantis is small enough to fit under a cell culture hood if necessary, making it useful for a variety of applications, from pipetting 384-well plates for QPCR reactions to large dilution series and treatment combinations for 96-well plates. It is also capable of pipetting hydrogel solutions such as Matrigel into 96-well plates.
To see the Mantis in action and get a better idea of what it can do, please see the attached video.
