BioTek NanoQuot Liquid Dispenser 

The NanoQuot™ is an affordable, low volume dispensing solution for applications in life science research and drug discovery. Sub-microliter dispensing offers scientists increased assay throughput and lower reagent expenses. The NanoQuot dispenses these volumes down to 100 nl precisely and accurately.  As the best value in sub-microliter dispensers available today, BioTek's NanoQuot helps researchers transition into high density, low volume microplate formats with an incomparable price-to-performance ratio, while also maintaining backward compatibility with existing formats and volumes.

Applications:

1. ELISA
2. Cell-based assays
3. PCR setups
4. Diluent dispensing
5. Compound distribution
6. Compound storage
7. Compound reformatting
