Standard dispensing cassette: precision for laboratory productivity
The Thermo Scientific™ standard tube dispensing cassette (part number 24072670) is an optimal solution for laboratories seeking reliability, precision and flexibility in automated liquid dispensing.
Compatible with the Multidrop™ Combi+ and Multidrop™ Combi SMART+ reagent dispensers, it meets the highest requirements for liquid handling in biotechnology, pharmaceutical research and quality control.
This cassette stands out in particular for its eight-channel architecture, designed to support volumes ranging from 5 µL to 2.5 mL, making it an extremely versatile tool. Its design incorporates a 40 cm wide silicone tube coupled with a polypropylene tip comb with an internal diameter of 0.5 mm, ensuring a consistent flow even when dispensing large volumes.
The use of autoclavable materials guarantees the sterile conditions required for sensitive applications. Choosing this cassette allows you to take full advantage of the Multidrop™ peristaltic pump system, which ensures reproducible dispensing with every cycle.
It is particularly recommended for volumes above 20 µL, where it excels thanks to its precision (CV ≤1% at 100 µL) and accuracy (±1% at 100 µL). In high-throughput applications, its dispensing speed is a major advantage, allowing, for example, a 96-well plate to be filled with 100 µL in just 10 seconds.
The modular design of the cassette also allows full compatibility with automated systems where reagent reservoirs are located away from the instrument, thanks to an optional long tube version (200 cm).
In terms of maintenance, the cassette is easy to maintain: daily rinsing with distilled water is sufficient, and the integrated backflush system reduces the loss of expensive reagents while facilitating cleaning. This cassette is also ideal for handling viscous solutions, such as buffers, solvents or detergents, thanks to its wide tubing that allows for smooth flow.
In an increasingly automated environment, the 24072670 cassette is a valuable ally for optimising experimental workflows while ensuring reliable and reproducible results. It integrates easily into the most complex protocols and adapts to a wide range of plates, from 6 to 1,536 wells, thanks to the flexibility of the Multidrop™ platforms.
The Thermo Scientific™ standard tube distribution cassette offers a unique combination of robustness, performance and ease of use, contributing to the overall efficiency of the modern laboratory.
