Matrix* Wellmate

• Manually adjustable dispensing head height and dispensing locations allows one instrument to accommodate virtually any 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 or 384-well microplate
• Once microplate and dispensing head are in place, it can be programmed to dispense volumes from 1-2000µL in increments of 1.0µL
• Innovative programming allows discrete well/column filling and offers greater flexibility in assay design
• Wide, dynamic dispense volume range and plate compatibility accommodates many plate-filling applications, eliminating the need to purchase separate instruments for dispensing into various labware
• Y- and X-axis adjustment enables dispensing into any side of a well for more precise control
• Small footprint makes it ideal for space-conscious laboratories or for use in a hood
• Compatible with a wide variety of standard and deep well microplates including 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, and 384 well, all on the same instrument with minimal adjustments
• PTFE-coated drip tray with spill barrier helps prevent spills from contacting electronics
• Simple pump motor controls support fast, easy manual priming and emptying of tubing lines
• Fluid flow can be manually reversed to recover valuable reagent contained in the lines
• Visual/audible safety system prevents pump motor rotation when tubing is not clamped correctly
• Standard 9-pin RS-232 programming offers flexible robotic integration options

Tubing Cartridges

• Presterilized, precalibrated tubing cartridges are economical enough to be disposable, yet rugged enough to be autoclaved for long-term use
• Standard- or small-bore needle options allow flexibility of pipetting everything from sensitive cellular materials to high vapor pressure fluids
• Silicone-based tubing cartridges with standard-bore nozzle orifice: for six to 96 well plate filling and volumes above 20µL
• Silicone-based tubing cartridges with small-bore nozzle orifice: for lower volume (1.0µL and above) applications and 384 well plate filling
• Cartridges come in packs of five making it possible to keep several on hand for reagent-specific plate filling applications
• Each cartridge can be used to fill 1,000 plates
• Nozzle Selection Guide helps to identify the appropriate tubing cartridge for your specific plate-filling application

Add the Matrix WellMate Stacker to the Matrix WellMate platform and increase throughput and walk-away capabilities. Shuttle low profile, standard and deep-well labware quickly and effortlessly from the removable front-loading, 25- or 50-microplate capacity stacker chimneys to the dispenser, shuffle processed labware into original order when dispensing multiple reagents and complete sterile liquid handling procedures with lidding and de-lidding capability.

• Addition of bacteria, yeast
• Addition of buffers, diluents, enzymes, substrates, ligands etc.
• Addition of labeled compounds, including fluorophores, radio labeled compounds
• Addition of microbeads for assays such as LOCI or loading combichem plates
• Addition of viscous solutions such as scintillation fluid or glycerol/sucrose solutions
• Sterile plate filling of cell culture media into 6, 12, 24, 48, 96 or 384 tissue culture plates
• Matrix WellMate can be placed in a dark room for dispensing light-sensitive compounds
