mosquito® X1 can pipette accurately and reproducibly throughout the 25nL-1200nL range. Tests showed:

• 7%CV at 25nL
• 5%CV at 50nL

Applications for the mosquito® X1 include:

• Selecting hits from primary screening plates and transferring them directly to the next screening stage without further dilution
• Evaluating the scale-up potential of protein crystallography screening hits by dispensing multiple drops, or adding nanolitre volumes of additives to individual drops
• Miniaturising assays by pipetting very low volumes.

Using the multidispense option, mosquito® X1 can dispense into multiple wells - or wells within multiple plates - from a single aspiration, thus increasing speed and saving on consumables for sample replicates. 

mosquito® X1 can address most plate formats including 48, 96, 384 and 1536. It offers the same high level pipetting performance and accuracy as the standard mosquito. Its extremely flexible plate deck can move in any X,Y direction allowing the disposable pipettes to aspirate accurate low volumes from any individual well - even piercing aluminium or PET plate seals.
