Lowering the barrier to high-performance positive displacement pipetting

As the most compact and accessible member of the mosquito family, mosquito Gen3 brings the benefits of miniaturization to all. The instrument delivers highly accurate and precise multichannel pipetting down to 500 nL, across even the most challenging and viscous liquids thanks to its true positive displacement technology. Pre-sterilized individual micropipettes eliminate cross-contamination and rapid plate-to-plate pipetting motion and tip exchange maximize speed and efficiency.

Looking to maximize productivity? Partner mosquito Gen3 with our dragonfly® discovery non-contact dispenser and form the 'dynamic duo' - a proven combination for miniaturized NGS workflows.
