mosquito drug discovery for maximized research output by automating complex liquid handling

SPT Labtech’s unique mosquito® positive displacement pipetting solutions use miniaturization and automation to improve productivity, reduce costs, and enhance research output.

High performance at a fraction of the cost

The mosquito’s revolutionary nanoliter liquid handling technology enables users to carry out “traditional” liquid handling tasks faster and at a fraction of the volume. Disposable positive displacement micropipettes control small amounts of liquid in plate-to-plate or intra-plate transfers via contact dispensing.

Instead of an air gap or system liquid, each disposable micropipette of the mosquito has a piston for real positive displacement pipetting.

After testing several robots from different companies, we recently decided to buy a second instrument, since the first one was our main work horse and the favorite of all users. It is easy to calibrate and to adjust according to the wishes of the users."

Gabriele Rummel, Novartis AG

The mosquito is wonderful, very easy to use once it is set up and calibrated correctly. I've been using it to dispense small volumes into 384 well plates - so happy not to do it by hand!"

Hayley Bennett, Genentech

The Mosquito transferred our ability to set up protein crystallization screens. The work of a day can be done in minutes."

Drug discovery

Streamline drug discovery with miniaturized, automated workflows

By automating complicated liquid handling activities at low quantities, mosquito systems assist researchers in accelerating drug discovery and maximizing research yield. This reduces samples, reagents, and plastic waste while improving assay robustness.

mosquito LV

Simplify low-volume workflows in high-throughput settings

The mosquito LV facilitates assay miniaturization in automated, high-throughput environments. The simple-to-use equipment allows researchers to profit from the significant time and reagent savings of minimal dead volumes (less than 0.3 µL) while maximizing the return on research investment.

mosquito HV

Powerful and precise liquid handling performance

The mosquito HV provides powerful liquid handling performance, bridging the nanoliter-microliter gap. The equipment offers precise and accurate multichannel pipetting, significantly saving reagents and time. Regardless of liquid class, its positive displacement method provides remarkable accuracy and precision.

mosquito X1

High speed, low volume hit picking

Using unique positive displacement pipetting technology, the mosquito X1 provides a precision low-volume sampling of any individual well in any plate. Because of its ability to pick hits, the mosquito X1 is ideal for high throughput screening (HTS) hit confirmation and secondary profiling, high throughput sample normalization, and synthetic biology (DNA assembly).
