User friendly and flexible; nanolitre pipetting at your fingertips
mosquito LV genomics provides you with highly accurate and precise nanolitre pipetting, enabling you to push the boundaries in genomics research. mosquito can handle even highly viscous samples (e.g. genomic DNA or enzymes in 50% glycerol), operates with standard microwell plates, and can be easily programmed to run a wide range of protocols, which makes mosquito a versatile tool for any genomics lab.
Genomics the mosquito way; miniaturize to maximize
mosquito is changing the way genomics is done - the ability to accurately set up reactions at a small fraction of the traditional volumes (often less than one tenth) leads to a step-change in productivity. NGS library preparation, reverse transcription and cDNA amplification, whole genome amplification, quantitative PCR and other DNA quantification methods all have been successfully automated and miniaturized with mosquito. Miniaturization with mosquito LV genomics leads to dramatic cost savings and allows researchers to maximize their output of results for a given budget.


Bring the benefits of positive displacement pipetting into your lab
We're revolutionizing liquid handling
Our liquid handling portfolio provides you with accurate and repeatable nanolitre to microlitre pipetting, every time, irrespective of liquid viscosity or environmental conditions.
Built for performance
Our liquid handling instruments use innovative technologies to provide real world benefits to researchers.
We produce robust, reliable and easy to use products that overcome difficult technical challenges so that you can focus on solving the scientific ones.
Positive displacement pipetting
Each of our disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston - not an air gap or system liquid - offering true positive-displacement pipetting with no risk of cross-contamination.
Our pipetting technology makes mosquito liquid handlers uniquely suited to deal with a wide range of viscosities, from organic solvents to aqueous buffers with 50% glycerol, all without any liquid classification.
Low-volume accuracy and precision
mosquito LV genomics offers low volume automated pipetting in the 25 nL to 1.2 μL range, to a very high level of performance, suitable even for serial dilution or quantitative PCR set-up.
- Outstanding accuracy: with an average of less than 3% error throughout the volume range
- Unrivaled precision: CVs of 3% (average across the volume range)
Intuitive by design
Our software is as focused on usability as it is on functionality. We strive for an intuitive user experience that matches the requirements of each scientific application. Through collaboration with scientists, our software team develop and enhance the instrument UI to provide the optimal user experience and facilitate adoption into novel application areas.
Versatile workflow integration
mosquito liquid handlers have been integrated with a wide variety of other laboratory instrumentation, including robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid handlers, to achieve walk-away operation in many application areas.
The mosquito Plate Processor (MoPP) is an off-the-shelf compact bench top workcell centered around mosquito. The integration system uses the popular PreciseFlex PF400 plate handling robot and Revolution scheduler allowing a variety of third party equipment to be integrated with any of our mosquito liquid handlers.
Featured applications
Our mosquito liquid handlers are not restricted to specific kits or processes. Being an open, fully programmable platform, mosquito LV genomics is commonly used in any enzymatic reactions that would benefit from dramatically lower reagent costs, standardized and reproducible high throughput set-up and/or reduced sample input.
