3.1 Intended use
Chapter 3: Introduction to the Multidrop 384
The Multidrop 384 microplate dispenser is intended for professional research use by trained
personnel. The instrument is intended for automated dispensing of up to eight different reagents
simultaneously into microplates and strips in 96 or 384-well plate format. Use for self-testing is
excluded.
3.2 Principle of operation
The Multidrop 384 is an automatic, programmable, eight-channel microplate dispenser. It has a
peristaltic pump for rapid and continuous dispensing of liquids into 96 and 384-well microplates. It can
dispense 1 to 8 different reagents from external liquid reservoirs into different rows and can be used in
most microtitration techniques, for example, in the fields of bacteriology, cell biology, hematology,
immunology, toxicology and virology. It is particularly useful in the pharmaceutical industry. The
Multidrop 384 is lightweight, transportable and compact on a laboratory bench. It can dispense 20 µl
into the entire 384-well microplate in 20 seconds or 20 µl into the entire 96-well microplate in
5 seconds.
