Developing cutting-edge biochips and biosensors comes with unique challenges. From achieving microscale precision to preventing cross-contamination, researchers face complex obstacles. These issues can significantly impact projects in areas like rapid diagnostics and drug discovery. BioDot's flyer explores these persistent problems and how innovative liquid handling techniques are helping teams push past traditional limits. If you're curious about fresh approaches to longstanding issues in the field, you might find some thought-provoking insights in this overview.

BioDot presents Omnia™, a low volume precision dispensing system for when drop size matters. Dispense discrete picoliter, nanoliter, and microliter drops with unmatched speed and precision by combining BioDot’s proprietary Rainmaker™ and BioJet™ dispensing technologies on one platform. Explore how the system can be used to create high-quality arrays and improve R&D and production throughputs.

PCR with low sample volume is plagued by sample loss, contamination, tedious pipetting, and lack of reproducibility. "Our solutions are engineered to make low volume PCR workflows easier, more reproducible, and more cost-effective," says BioDot V.P. of Product Development and Strategy, Brian Kirk. "Researchers no longer have to struggle with losses, contamination and tedious liquid handling." Learn more about how BioDot is transforming low-volume genomic workflows with this resource.

Back in the early 2000s, a new crop of machines were introduced (often by inkjet-printer manufacturers) that dispensed small volumes of liquids into defined and limited labware. This was certainly a breakthrough, compared to older serial dilution methods, but today – close to a decade on – researchers and other pharmaceutical compounders are bumping up against several limitations of this approach. Fortunately, dedicated fluidic dispensing engineers have been working on modern solutions to some of these common problems. In this application note from BioDot Inc., explore five common shortcomings that can now be overcome with minimal equipment investment and no disruption to your current workflows – only the streamlining or elimination of multiple troublesome or costly steps.

Precision liquid handling is a cornerstone of modern molecular biology, enabling the miniaturization of assays to maximize throughput while significantly reducing the cost of high-value reagents.
