The mosquito® Series Automated Liquid Handling Systems from SPT Labtech offer high-performance, nanolitre liquid handling for applications in genomics, crystallography, and drug discovery. By leveraging positive displacement pipetting, mosquito systems enable miniaturised, high-precision liquid transfers while reducing sample, reagent, and plastic waste.
Optional accessories are available and can be purchased separately. If you should require a customised special solution, please contact our technical specialists using our enquiry form or at sales@lasec.com.
High performance at a fraction of the cost—mosquito® Series Automated Liquid Handling Systems
SPT Labtech’s innovative mosquito positive displacement pipetting solutions combine the power of miniaturisation and automation to reduce costs, improve productivity, and maximise research output.
mosquito’s unique nanolitre liquid handling technology enables you to perform ‘traditional’ liquid handling tasks at a fraction of the volume, and at higher speeds. The instrument uses positive displacement, disposable micropipettes to handle low volumes of liquid in plate-to-plate, or intra-plate transfers using contact dispensing. Each of mosquito’s disposable micropipettes has its own individual piston, not an air gap or system liquid, for true positive displacement pipetting.
Genomics
Realize the Benefits of the Genomics Revolution
As Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) costs have reduced, sample numbers have dramatically increased, leading to a sample and library preparation bottleneck. Harnessing automation and miniaturisation enables researchers to realise the full benefits of the genomics revolution. SPT Labtech's solutions dramatically improve productivity and reduce cost per sample for applications such as PCR, quantification and normalisation, synthetic biology, and a range of NGS library preparation methods supporting single-cell genomics, transcriptomics, microbiome and metagenomics, agbio, clinical genomics, and pathogen surveillance.
mosquito® Gen3
SPTLabtech’s most compact and accessible member of the mosquito family. mosquito Gen3 offers highly accurate and precise multi-channel pipetting from 500 nL to 5 µL, allowing genomics researchers to benefit from miniaturisation across a range of applications, irrespective of liquid class. The instrument’s rapid plate-to-plate pipetting motion and tip exchange maximise speed and efficiency.
mosquito® HV genomics
For those looking for higher throughput and greater walkaway capacity, mosquito HV genomics delivers the same highly accurate and precise multi-channel pipetting but with two additional deck positions. Run full miniaturised workflows with less hands-on time, and have confidence handling even the most viscous and volatile liquids from 500 nL to 5 µL.
mosquito® LV genomics
If you're looking to work with even smaller volumes, then mosquito LV genomics is for you. This instrument delivers exceptionally accurate and precise multi-channel pipetting from 25 nL to 1.2 µL, enabling you to extend the reach of precious samples and reagents even further.
Crystallography
Automate Protein Crystallization Screening
Automated systems for protein crystallisation screening are unlocking the potential of crystallography-based structural biology to allow rapid, reliable, and reproducible crystallisation screen transfers.
mosquito® Xtal3
mosquito Xtal3 combines speed, accuracy, and performance in crystallisation drop setup. The instrument enables researchers to use smaller volumes of precious protein samples without risk of contamination and automate popular protein crystallisation screening techniques to accelerate research.
mosquito® LCP
mosquito LCP for membrane protein crystallisation enables accurate, reproducible automation for liquid cubic phase (LCP) set-ups. The innovative positive displacement technology overcomes the common problems encountered with accurately dispensing the highly viscous LCP materials. Automated calibration of syringe and pipette positioning ensures precise drop-on-drop placement for easy automated imaging
mosquito® LV crystal
The mosquito crystal combines speed, accuracy, and high-precision pipetting of nanolitre volumes with zero cross-contamination from a disposable tip. Volumes as low as 10 nL on multi-aspirate allow researchers to make the most of precious protein samples while benefiting from the adaptability to easily change methods.
Drug Discovery
Streamline Drug Discovery with Miniaturised, Automated Workflows
mosquito systems help researchers to accelerate drug discovery and maximise research output by automating complex liquid handling tasks at low volumes. This reduces sample, reagent, and plastic waste, and increases assay robustness.
mosquito® LV
mosquito LV simplifies assay miniaturisation within automated, high-throughput settings. The easy-to-use instrument enables researchers to benefit from the significant time and reagent savings of minimal dead volumes (under 0.3 µL) and maximise return on research investment.
mosquito® HV
mosquito HV delivers powerful liquid handling performance, bridging the gap between nanolitres and microlitres. The instrument offers highly accurate and precise multichannel pipetting, leading to significant savings on precious reagents and time. Its positive displacement technology offers exceptional accuracy and precision, irrespective of liquid class.
mosquito® X1
mosquito X1 offers precision low-volume sampling of any individual well in any plate, using unique positive displacement pipetting technology. Its hit picking capability makes mosquito X1 perfectly suited for high-throughput screening (HTS) hit confirmation and secondary profiling, as well as high-throughput sample normalisation and synthetic biology (DNA assembly).
