The MultiFlo dispenses up to four independent, parallel reagents in volumes from 1 μL to 3 mL, and microplates from 6- to 1536-well, including low-profile, standard height, deep well and even microtubes. Two integrated peristaltic pumps provide low prime volumes, full reagent recovery and high chemical compatibility, while two integrated syringe pumps feature program-and-forget solutions without need for instrument recalibration or consumables. Fully modular architecture means that any dispensing combination may be chosen and upgraded as necessary.

Dispense flow rates are fully adjustable from high-velocity media exchanges to gentle washing for delicate cell-based applications. Dispense protocols may be created and run through the easy-to-use keypad interface or through BioTek’s LHC™ Software. Additionally, with a compact footprint and 8-inch base height, MultiFlo easily fits on any laboratory bench or robotic system. Combined with BioTek’s BioStack™ Microplate Stacker, MultiFlo may be programmed for unattended dispensing of up to 75 microplates.
