mosquito^® LV genomics

Unlocking the potential of genomics with miniaturized, automated liquid handling

Accurate and precise multi-channel positive displacement pipetting to advance genomics research

mosquito LV (Low Volume) genomics offers highly accurate and precise multi-channel positive displacement pipetting from 25 nL to 1.2 μL. It enables miniaturization of a wide range of genomics applications, delivering a step change in productivity, while reducing costs.

The instrument’s pre-sterilized disposable pipettes eliminate cross-contamination and maintain data integrity while the rapid plate-to-plate pipetting motion and tip exchange maximize speed and efficiency.

Accurate and precise low volume pipetting for genomics research

Highly accurate and precise low volume pipetting in the 25 nL – 1200 nL range. mosquito LV genomics efficiently harnesses innovative positive displacement technology and easily handles even challenging sample materials such as genomic DNA or enzymes in 50% glycerol using standard microwell plates.

Disposable pipettes ensure data integrity

Disposable, pre-sterilized pipettes guard against cross-contamination to ensure data integrity and accurate research outcomes.

High throughput plate preparation increases efficiency

mosquito LV genomics offers rapid plate-to-plate transfer and tip exchange, reducing time consuming processes and increasing efficiency.

Ultra-low dead volumes boost productivity

The ability to set up reactions at ultra-low volumes to 0.2 µL maximizes reagent use and preserves precious samples to increase research output.

Designed for versatile use

mosquito LV genomics can be easily programmed to run a wide range of protocols, and enables researchers to aspirate, dispense, and mix in any plate type or format for experimental flexibility.

Application ready

Application-enabling accessories such as cooling blocks, magnetic blocks and environmental protection, plus software wizards for many common protocols, provide assured access to robust and proven applications.

High performance technology

Our liquid handling instruments harness innovative technology to streamline workflows and accelerate research. Robust, reliable, and easy to use, our products overcome tough technical challenges and enable researchers to focus on the best science.

True positive displacement pipetting

Each of our disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston, not an air gap or system liquid, offering true positive displacement pipetting with no risk of cross-contamination. mosquito gives researchers the confidence to handle a range of liquid types.

Low volume accuracy and precision

mosquito LV genomics offers low volume automated pipetting in the 25 nL to 1.2 μL range, to a very high level of performance, suitable even for serial dilution or quantitative PCR setup. It combines outstanding accuracy with an average of less than 3% error throughout the volume range and unrivaled precision with average CVs of 3%.

Intuitive by design

Our application led software combines usability and functionality, with an intuitive user experience tailored to each scientific application. Through collaboration with scientists, our software team develops and enhances the instrument UI to provide the optimal user experience and facilitate adoption into novel application areas.

Extend capabilities with workflow integration

integrates seamlessly with a wide variety of laboratory instrumentation, including robotic plate handlers, stackers and bulk liquid handlers to extend capabilities and further streamline workflows.

The mosquito Plate Processor (MoPP) is an off-the-shelf compact bench top workcell using the popular PreciseFlex PF400 plate handling robot and Revolution scheduler to simplify integration with third party equipment.
