A Compact Bulk Dispenser Suitable for Integrated Systems

A compact bulk liquid dispenser was designed and constructed to enable the interleaved execution of fully automated assays on space-constricted workstations. Due to its design, multiple instances of dedicated dispensers can be integrated on the same system, providing independence, redundancy, and preservation of reagents with no carryover risk. The performance and impact of the integrated dispensers on the throughput of an automated enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay system are demonstrated in this article.
