micro10 - Applications

The micro10 is well-suited to use in ELISA applications as a dispenser of conjugate and stop solutions.  Its high speed and robot compatability make it ideal for ELISAs that require consistent processing of many hundreds of plates.  Its self-priming feature allows it to maintain consistently clear dispense nozzles even during long plate-incubation times.  A sample layout of a high-throughput ELISA system appears below:

The micro10 is also ideal for rapidly dispensing fresh growth media into culture plates in cell-based assays and growth processes.  Coupled with Hudson’s LabLinx track-based plate stackers, clean plates can be filled with media automatically inside ordinary laboratory hoods, to ensure high-speed, sterile filling of plates.  Again, its self-priming feature ensures unclogged nozzles and continuously flush flow channels to minimize contamination.

The micro10 has also found widespread use in dispensing live cells into culture plates.  Its ceramic, positive-displacement pump head is gentle on cells, and its autoclavable liquid path allows for easy cleanup and decontamination between batches.
