firefly® accessories

Expand the performance of your firefly instrument.

firefly HV reservoir tray

High Volume (HV) reservoir tray 

High Volume (HV) reservoir trays enable firefly users to increase volume capacity in each of the six reagent reservoirs from 10 mL to 40 mL. This optional upgrade increases walkaway capabilities, permitting longer end-to-end workflows without need to manually refill bulk reagents. HV reservoir trays are compatible with standard and Low Dead Volume (LDV) reservoirs to suit any workflow requirements.

Expand the performance of your dragonfly instrument.

Auto-feed reservoirs (AFRs)

Auto-feed reservoirs allow users to take the reservoir offline from the instrument and pump directly to a small set of ports beneath tips for aspiration and dispensing. The feature removes the need for human intervention to refill the manual reservoirs.

Reservoir cooling block

The reservoir cooling block allows users to keep samples chilled in the reservoir before aspiration and subsequent dispensing. Keep samples below 10ºC for more than 10 minutes and process complex 3D assays using Matrigel® if chilling is required to maintain the sample in its liquid form before aspiration.

mosquito® accessories

Expand the performance of your mosquito instrument.

Cooling block

The cooling block helps protect the integrity of sensitive samples and reagents during reaction setup. The block has been designed to fit on the mosquito deck and to provide a high heat capacity, so that the plates remain cool for a longer time. The cooling block is pre-cooled in the -20°C freezer before use. It fits all mosquito models and dragonfly® discovery.

BioMicroLab XL Ionizer

Use the XL Ionizer in ultra-dry environments to improve the accuracy of analytic balances. Plastic test tubes that are moved in and out of plastic racks can accumulate an electrostatic charge. The charge may lead to the appearance of slight variations in the test tube sample weight when the tube is placed in an analytical balance, especially at low volumes. The XL Ionizer dissipates the electrostatic charge on the instrument deck, the balance, tube racks, and the tube itself.
