Deliver Value to Your Lab

Dispense up to 384 source liquids per run at a speed and precision that will continue to surprise you and your colleagues every day.

Fast. Precise. Traceable.

The I.DOT is an intuitive liquid handling system designed for researchers of all experience levels. This breakthrough technology precisely dispenses volumes as low as 8 nL with unrivaled accuracy and speed, while dramatically reducing your laboratory's plastic waste and reagent consumption.

From dispensing sensitive enzymes and beads for NGS or qPCR to precisely delivering cells, compounds, and buffers for assay development and high-throughput screening, the I.DOT delivers exceptional precision and remarkable ease of use. The result? More efficient workflows and consistently reproducible sample preparation that transforms your research capabilities.

Enabling Miniaturization is Our Passion

Although reaction miniaturization is ubiquitous in large pharmaceutical environments, it can be challenging to understand the risks and considerations associated with generating high-quality data in the context of miniaturizing assays.  

The DISPENDIX team has worked through miniaturization of even the most complex NGS workflows and can help you to scale volumes as low as 1/10th the manufacturer's recommended SOP without compromising data quality.

FAQ

Our Most Common Questions

How do I know which steps of my process the I.DOT can automate?

The I.DOT can automate the process of dispensing up to 384 liquids into up to 1536 wells of a destination plate!  Since there is a lot of flexibility in the use of the platform, we often recommend the use of the I.DOT for steps where liquids are dispensed into 8 or more destination wells at volumes from 4 nL to 30 μL per well.

Is the I.DOT automation friendly?

Yes! Our customers integrate the I.DOT in varying degrees of complexity from simple integrations with an arm and a liquid handler to large robotic workcells capable of processing thousands of samples per day.

Can the I.DOT Dispense Glycerol, DMSO, and Aqueous Solutions?

The I.DOT can dispense liquids from 0.55 mPa*s (methanol) to 23.32 mPa*s (65% glycerol).  

How do I know that the I.DOT actually dispensed my liquid?

The I.DOT comes equipped with integrated droplet detection that counts the number of droplets dispensed in any given operation.  With these data, the I.DOT software will report to you the theoretical volume dispensed by taking the product of the average droplet size and number of droplets counted.
