Dragonfly Discovery
Manufacturer – sptlabtech
Description: The dragonfly® discovery is an automated, high-performance benchtop liquid handling system that uses non-contact dispensing based on innovative positive displacement syringe technology. Its design allows it to accurately and reliably dispense a broad range of volumes, from nanoliters to milliliters, regardless of the liquid’s viscosity or the environmental conditions. It functions as a flexible platform that unifies assay development, validation, and screening workflows.
