SPT Labtech Mosquito HV High-Volume Automated Liquid Handler Unit 2 (2021)

The SPT Labtech Mosquito HV Liquid Handler Unit 2 is an automated, high-throughput liquid handling system designed for precise dispensing of 500 nL to 5 µL volumes using positive displacement pipetting technology. Manufactured in 2021, this compact instrument supports efficient plate-based workflows crucial to molecular biology and bioprocessing applications such as PCR setup, NGS library preparation, and assay miniaturization widely adopted in synthetic biology and molecular diagnostics.

Key technical features include:

• 16-channel positive displacement pipetting enabling low-volume, high-precision liquid dispensing with disposable tips to eliminate cross-contamination risks.
• A 5-position deck compatible with SBS-format plates (96, 384, and 1,536 wells), supporting versatile high-throughput screening and biomanufacturing workflows.
• Fast throughput capabilities: ~2 minutes per 96-well plate, ~3 minutes per 384-well copy, and 5 minutes for a 4 x 384 plate stamp out.
• Compact footprint (790 x 470 x 690 mm) designed for space-limited labs focusing on biotechnology and biomedical engineering research.
• Robust mechanical design ensures accurate plate alignment, consistent pipetting profiles, smooth plate movement, and reliable operation confirmed by comprehensive system diagnostics and software control verification.

This liquid handler is essential for biotechnology laboratories aiming for reproducible, miniaturized assay setups and is popular among molecular biology researchers engaged in gene editing and molecular cloning workflows. The system includes a computer with Mosquito software and all necessary power and communication cables (pipette spools and consumables are not included).

Supporting applications include:

• PCR and qPCR reaction setup
• Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) library preparation
• Assay miniaturization to reduce reagent use and increase throughput
• High-throughput screening in drug discovery and synthetic biology research pipelines

The instrument is fully serviced, in stock, and delivered with warranty and after-sales technical support. It is backed by extensive in-house testing confirming full operational control, plate handling precision, and long-term reliability, making it a strategic acquisition for research centers, universities, and biopharmaceutical production environments seeking to optimize liquid handling in molecular diagnostics and bioprocessing pipelines.
