Bio-Tek AF1000 MicroFill (uFill) Reagent Microplate Dispenser

The MicroFill Microplate Dispenser

The MicroFill™ is a self-contained, user-programmable, universal microplate dispenser.

The following unique combination of features expands applications far beyond the typical microplate dispenser:

• The microprocessor-controlled syringe pump with its long-lasting seal ensures precise and accurate fluid delivery, as well as reproducibility for repeated dispenses.

• The low-profile, robot-compatible carrier accommodates deep-well microplates and microtubes in 24-, 96-, and 384-well formats. A microplate adaptor accommodates standard height plates.

• User-programmable dispense rates and depths provide for a wide range of dispensing capabilities.

• The horizontal dispense position provides for precise positioning of the wells under the dispense tubes.

• The MicroFill™ can be used to dispense a variety of solutions, including buffered saline and reagent solutions.

• The intuitive menu-driven software allows you to create and store up to 100 dispense programs. When you are ready to run a program, simply select the program name and enter the starting strip and number of strips. The MicroFill will then process the plate according to the program parameters.

• Several predefined programs are provided to simplify preventive maintenance, which should be performed regularly to ensure optimum dispenser performance.

• The MicroFill™ has a low-maintenance design, the result of BioTek’s long history with liquid-handling instruments. The MicroFill™ does not require recalibration.

• In addition to operating on a stand-alone basis, the MicroFill™ is compatible with BioTek’s BioStack™ Microplate Stacker and BioStack Twister II Microplate Handler.

The AF1000 supports the 16-channel manifold, for standard 96- and 384-well plates. It is not autoclavable and should not be used with organic solvents.
