BioTek Instruments MultiFlo FX Multi-Mode Dispenser with AMX module

BioTek Instruments has been granted a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the Automated Media Exchange (AMX) module for the MultiFlo FX Multi-Mode Dispenser. In cell biology workflows, the automated MultiFlo FX with AMX module enables hands-free, gentle and consistent media exchanges and washing in 96- and 384-well microplate formats without disturbing sensitive cells. This promotes viability and long-term differentiation in 3D cell culture models as well as effective maintenance of loosely adherent 2D cell cultures.

The modular MultiFlo FX can incorporate up to four dispensers and a washer for flexibility with a wide variety of applications. The AMX module uses two software-controlled peristaltic pumps to control the media flow and adjustable x-y-z positioning of the specially designed, dedicated aspirate and dispense manifolds to avoid damage or unintentional removal of cells. Together, they may be integrated with the company’s automated incubator, imagers or multimode readers to enhance walkaway convenience and efficiency.
