24073290 Dispense Cassette: precision and reliability for low volumes
The Thermo Scientific™ 24073290 dispensing cassette is specifically designed to meet the needs of modern laboratories for low-volume liquid dispensing. It is part of the range of consumables compatible with Thermo Fisher Scientific's Multidrop™ Combi and Combi+ dispensers, renowned for their performance and versatility in the rapid and reproducible dispensing of reagents.
This cassette incorporates a 40 cm long silicone tubing system with an internal diameter of 0.5 mm, allowing for smooth and accurate fluid transfer. Its polypropylene tip with a fine orifice (0.22 mm) ensures accurate liquid dispensing while reducing the risk of cross-contamination. It is particularly suitable for applications such as compound screening, enzyme assays, cell assays and protocols requiring low dispensing volumes of 0.5 to 50 µL.
Its low dead volume (<1 mL) allows for economical use of expensive reagents, which is a major advantage in research environments where every microlitre counts. Although this cassette is not designed for unlimited use, it can withstand up to 10 autoclave cycles, ensuring controlled reuse without compromising hygiene and performance.
Its compact design and compatibility with automated systems make it suitable for use in robotic environments, particularly where space between the reagent container and the instrument is limited.
To maintain optimal performance, it is recommended that the cassette be cleaned daily after use. A simple rinse with deionised water (minimum 10 mL) removes any residue. In case of more significant contamination, mild detergent solutions such as Tween™, Triton™ X-100 or Micro-90™ at 1% can be used, followed by a thorough rinse.
This cassette is an ideal solution for researchers and laboratory technicians looking to automate and standardise the dispensing of small quantities of liquid with maximum precision. Thanks to its reliable and ergonomic design, the 24073290 helps improve the efficiency and reproducibility of experimental protocols while reducing human error.
