Miniaturize assays
Run the same assay using far less antibody, enzyme, or substrate per condition.
Platform
Precision droplet printing for high-throughput biology
Assemble complex experiments using 10–25 nL dispenses at 20 Hz, with reagent-specific calibration and onboard imaging that confirms droplet formation and volume before printing a plate.
Capabilities
Meet the LabCraft Plex
LabCraft Plex prints nanoliter droplets with calibration and imaging verification built into the workflow — so you can miniaturize assays and scale condition coverage with confidence.
Droplet volume
10–25 nL
Print frequency
20 Hz
Reagents
Water → 50% glycerol
Verification
Onboard imaging
Precision
Typical CV < 1%
Capacity
Up to 15 heads / run
Performance depends on reagent properties and configuration; calibration quantifies stability before a print.
What makes it different
- Non-contact dispensing (no tips)
- Nanoliter-scale precision with verification
- Experiment design tools integrated into the workflow
How droplet formation works
The LabCraft Plex uses precisely timed pressure pulses to eject droplets from a nozzle. During calibration, onboard imaging verifies formation and volume before printing.
Calibrate per reagent
Reagents vary widely. Calibration tunes pulse timing to reach stable volume and clean ejection.
Verify with imaging
The onboard microscope quantifies droplet volume and flags instability before a run starts.
Precision across reagents
Consistent droplet volume — from low to higher viscosity
The system adapts by calibrating per reagent and confirming performance with imaging — so results are predictable and repeatable.
- Multiple droplets captured to estimate CV before printing
- Clear summaries that show stability (or flag issues)
- Typical coefficient of variation across reagents is under 1%
Example calibration performance across reagents: time-series consistency and distribution summaries.
Designed for multivariate experiments
When assembly is fast and low-volume, larger condition spaces become practical.
Scale up coverage
Explore gradients, combinations, and DOE-style layouts directly in plates.
Reduce waste
Eliminate tips to cut consumable cost, plastic waste, and contamination risk.
