Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi 836: Ultra-versatile reagent dispenser for microplates
The Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi 836 is a reagent dispensing instrument designed to meet the rigorous demands of modern research laboratories. With its automated multi-channel dispensing system, it can deliver up to eight different reagents simultaneously in various plate formats, ranging from 6 to 1536 wells. This makes it particularly suitable for high-throughput screening platforms, cell assays, ELISA tests, and genomic and proteomic analyses.
Equipped with an integrated peristaltic pump, the Multidrop Combi guarantees fast, accurate and consistent flow while minimising reagent waste. It is capable of dispensing volumes ranging from 0.5 µL to 2500 µL with exceptional accuracy across the entire range. Thanks to interchangeable, autoclavable dispensing cassettes, it offers excellent modularity. The optional SMART system allows cassette wear to be monitored for optimum reliability.
Its user interface is simple and intuitive, with an on-board display and keyboard for quick access to configuration, protocol and maintenance functions. Volume, speed, dispensing height and pre-dispensing settings are fully customisable to suit each specific application. It is also possible to program specific volumes per column, offering great flexibility in plate management.
The Multidrop Combi can operate independently or be integrated into a robotic system via its USB or RS-232 ports, making it an ideal choice for automated environments. Its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to integrate into a laboratory bench, and it requires minimal space while remaining easily transportable.
In addition to its technical performance, the instrument stands out for its integrated safety and maintenance features. It includes automated rinsing, draining and cleaning functions. If necessary, the internal calibration procedure ensures that dispensing accuracy is maintained. In the event of an incident, the system clearly displays errors on the screen, facilitating troubleshooting.
The Thermo Scientific Multidrop Combi 836 is a comprehensive and reliable solution for all laboratories looking to improve their efficiency in repetitive dispensing tasks while ensuring consistent quality and ease of use.
