SPT Labtech Dragonfly Discovery Liquid Handler with 3 Dispensing Heads, 200 nL–4 mL Volume Range

The SPT Labtech Dragonfly Discovery Liquid Handler is a compact benchtop automated liquid dispensing system designed for precise, low-volume reagent delivery with applications in molecular diagnostics, bioprocessing, and high-throughput screening. Featuring three independent non-contact positive displacement dispensing heads, it minimizes cross-contamination and carryover while enabling flexible parallel reagent delivery essential for biomanufacturing and synthetic biology workflows.

Key technical specifications include:

• *Dispense volume range*: 200 nanoliters to 4 milliliters, supporting from nanoliter-scale molecular assays to microliter-scale reagent preparation.
• *Compatible labware*: SBS-format 96-, 384-, and 1536-well microplates, accommodating diverse plate densities used in genomics, qPCR, and drug discovery screening.
• *Throughput performance*: Capable of filling a 384-well plate in under 30 seconds or a 1536-well plate in under 90 seconds, independent of liquid viscosity, facilitating rapid assay development in synthetic biology and molecular cloning workflows.
• *Non-contact dispensing*: Employs positive displacement pipetting with disposable tips reducing dead volume and reagent waste, critical in sensitive molecular biology and bioprocessing applications.
• *Footprint*: 60 x 44 x 64 cm (WxDxH) weighing 46 kg, suitable for placement on laboratory benches in clinical diagnostics or biotechnology labs.
• *Software integration*: Features intuitive protocol setup enabling customization for complex liquid handling protocols often employed in gene editing and biopharmaceutical production pipelines.

This liquid handler is widely adopted in biotechnology research fields, including genomics, molecular diagnostics, live-cell assay setup, and lead optimization in drug discovery. Its low volume dispensing accuracy and high throughput make it a critical instrument in biomanufacturing and synthetic biology research environments where precise reagent delivery dictates experimental success.

Additional supplied consumables include syringes, plungers, and reservoirs optimized for Dragonfly systems to ensure consistent performance. The instrument arrives new, fully serviced, and includes remote setup and training support.

This system is well-suited for researchers and laboratory professionals seeking reliable automation for high-throughput assay development, reagent dispensing, and low volume liquid handling with a focus on biotechnology applications such as molecular cloning workflows and bioprocessing scalability.
