SPT Labtech brings the power of miniaturization to more genomics researchers with mosquito® Gen3
This new instrument delivers automated true positive displacement technology in an exceptionally compact footprint
Cambridge, UK – SPT Labtech, a global leader in the design, development and manufacture of automated instrumentation and consumables for life science applications, has expanded its nanoliter liquid handling portfolio with the launch of mosquito Gen3. As the most compact and accessible model of the mosquito range, this new instrument brings next-generation sequencing (NGS) cost savings to more laboratories by lowering the barrier to advanced miniaturization technology.
mosquito Gen3 delivers accurate and precise multi-channel pipetting from 500 nL to 5 µL, with rapid plate-to-plate motion across three available deck positions and a small benchtop footprint[PL1] . Its use of individual pre-sterilized micropipettes eliminates the risk of cross-contamination, ensuring data and research integrity. Developed in collaboration with leading scientists, mosquito software enables quick method implementation and sharing, facilitating miniaturization in novel application areas.
For laboratories requiring higher throughput and greater walkaway capacity, mosquito HV genomics offers the same accuracy and volume range, with additional two deck positions.
mosquito technology has transformed genomics workflows by significantly reducing reagent consumption and scaling down reaction volumes without compromising data quality. Unlike traditional air displacement technology, mosquito’s true positive displacement technology maintains accuracy across all liquid classes and environmental conditions. This technology has enabled miniaturization of over 40 NGS kits, including industry standards such as Illumina Nextera XT, Illumina DNA Prep, NEBNext® Ultra™ II and Takara SMART-Seq chemistries.
“Automated liquid handling has become essential for genomics labs to meet the demands of modern research. Miniaturization is a particularly advantageous technique that allows for substantial cost savings and maximum reach of precious samples and reagents. We’re lowering the cost barrier to miniaturization with mosquito Gen3, enabling more researchers to experience its benefits. Our expanded mosquito portfolio offers low-volume liquid handling solutions tailored to diverse laboratory resources and needs,” says Kamila Koprowska, Product Manager, mosquito genomics at SPT Labtech.
