Pico Advanced Multichannel dispensing system

High throughput 8-channel picolitre dispensing system.

The Pico A instrument is specifically designed for high-throughput manufacturing applications. In addition, the multichannel dispensing system features 8 independently operated picolitre dispensing channels. To begin with, the samples are aspirated from a standard 96-well plate into each of the 8 disposable dispensing cartridges. Furthermore, each channel is calibrated for the particular liquid to be dispensed, and any liquid may be dispensed from any channel as required by your application. Moreover, dispensing cartridges are available in boxes of 96 units. As a result, the Pico A is suitable for various applications, including the manufacturing of sensors and Lab-on-a-Chip (LoC) devices.

Features & Benefits

Patented disposable dispensing cartridge technology

There is no risk of cross-contamination by design. Additionally, you can change fluids in a matter of minutes, which ensures efficient workflow. Moreover, there is no wastage of precious fluids, thanks to the nozzle's anti-clogging feature.

More about our disposable cartridges

High precision positional accuracy and repeatability

The state-of-the-art robotics platform is specifically designed for high throughput and high repeatability. With a resolution of 1µm and an XY precision of +/-5µm, it ensures exceptional accuracy and consistency in operation.

Ultra-low volume dispensing

Single drop volumes can be easily programmed within the range of 5 pl to 120 pl, depending on the properties of the liquids. This flexibility allows for precise control tailored to each liquid's characteristics.

High precision target alignment vision system

In addition, high-resolution image processing optics and software precisely align the dispensed liquids with the target locations on the substrate, ensuring accurate placement.

Ultra-fast Dispensing Speed

The typical dispense speed is approximately 1,000 droplets per second, although this may vary depending on the sample's viscosity. This ensures the system adapts to different fluid properties for optimal performance.

Reliable dispensing system.

The dedicated industrial liquid automation robotics platform is specifically built for a long-lasting operational life of over 10 years, even in a 24/7 operating environment. This ensures durability and reliability for continuous use in demanding conditions.

Ongoing software upgrades

You can optionally stay up to date with the latest features and capabilities, ensuring your system remains current with advancements in technology.

1-year & extended warranties

The system includes a 1-year parts and labor, return-to-factory warranty. Additionally, there is an option to extend the warranty for 3 to 5 years, providing further peace of mind and long-term protection.
