High-throughput mosquito LV. 25 nL-1.2 µL dispensing. 5-position deck for screening workflows and compound serial dilutions.
High performance nanoliter liquid handling technology
The SPT Labtech mosquito LV (Low Volume) offers unique nanoliter liquid handling technology enabling you to perform 'traditional' liquid handling tasks at a fraction of the volume, and at higher speeds. The instrument uses positive displacement, disposable micropipettes to handle low volumes of liquid in plate-to-plate, or intra-plate transfers using contact dispensing.

True positive displacement pipetting delivers exceptional accuracy
mosquito LV (Low Volume) harnesses innovative positive displacement pipetting by using disposable micropipettes with individual pistons to deliver exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class. Each disposable micropipette has its own piston—not an air gap or system liquid—for true positive displacement pipetting. This technology eliminates cross-contamination and ensures consistent results with viscous liquids, volatile solvents, and DMSO solutions.
High-throughput screening applications
Streamline drug discovery with compound management, acoustic-ready plate preparation, serial dilutions, and assay miniaturization. Reduce reagent costs by up to 90% through volume reduction. Create mother plates for acoustic dispensing or direct assay plate preparation.
Streamline workflows with automation integration
Integrate mosquito with robotic systems and other laboratory automation equipment. Compatible with third-party scheduling software for unattended operation. Built-in barcode readers available for enhanced sample tracking and audit trails.
Disposable pipettes ensure assay integrity
Single-use disposable micropipettes guard against cross-contamination and assure the integrity of your assays. Available in both standard and low-retention formats for challenging liquid classes. Pre-loaded in automated cartridges for walk-away operation.
Walk-up-and-use technology streamlines user experience
The user-friendly instrument and software interface are accessible for even novice users, minimizing operator training time. Create custom protocols or use pre-programmed methods for common applications. Real-time volume verification and comprehensive audit trails for regulatory compliance.
