The unique mosquito positive displacement pipetting solutions from SPT Labtech harness the strengths of miniaturization and automation to decrease costs, increase productivity, and boost research output.
High performance at a fraction of the cost
The unique nanolitre liquid handling technology of mosquito allows users to do “traditional” liquid handling chores at a fraction of the volume and at a faster rate. The equipment employs positive displacement and disposable micropipettes to handle minimal volumes of liquid in plate-to-plate or intra-plate transfers via contact dispensing.
For real positive displacement pipetting, each of the mosquito’s disposable micropipettes has an independent piston instead of an air gap or system liquid.

After testing several robots from different companies, we recently decided to buy a second instrument, since the first one was our main work horse and the favorite of all users. It is easy to calibrate and to adjust according to the wishes of the users."
Gabriele Rummel, Novartis AG
The mosquito is wonderful, very easy to use once it is set up and calibrated correctly. I've been using it to dispense small volumes into 384 well plates - so happy not to do it by hand!"
Hayley Bennett, Genentech
The Mosquito transferred our ability to set up protein crystallization screens. The work of a day can be done in minutes."

Genomics
Realize the benefits of the genomics revolution
As the cost of Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) has decreased, the quantity of NGS samples has increased rapidly, resulting in a sample and library preparation bottleneck. By leveraging automation and miniaturization, researchers may reap the full benefits of the genomics revolution.
SPT Labtech’s solutions dramatically improve productivity and reduce cost per sample for PCR, quantification and normalization, synthetic biology, and a variety of NGS library preparation methods supporting single cell genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome and metagenomics, agbio, clinical genomics, and pathogen surveillance.
