Great Review of Preddator by Dundee University

Preddator reagent dispenser at Dundee UniversityWe’re frequently told by our users how impressed they are with the Preddator system but it’s also nice to have this confirmed in writing.

We’ve just received notification from SelectScience Reviews that a review of Preddator has been posted by the Drug Discovery section of the Department of Biological Chemistry and Drug Discovery at the University of Dundee.

The Department is a multidisciplinary and highly collaborative research division within the University, encompassing both fundamental and translational research.

James Roberts, the main Preddator user in the Department said ” We use the Preddator within our compound handling workflow.  It fits …

Verifying dispensing performance & optimizing accuracy on a Redd&Whyte Preddator nano-bulk reagent dispenser using the Artel MVS®

ABSTRACT:
Nano Bulk Reagent dispenser DropletsThis application note discusses an approach to verify and optimize the dispensing accuracy on a Redd & Whyte Preddator1 dispenser using measurement information from the Artel MVS®. The Preddator is able to dispense any number of liquid types and the MVS supports verifying both tip-to-tip precision and accuracy values for nearly all liquid handlers.2,3 The focus of this application note is on volume verification and subsequent optimization; it does not speak to the quality of volume transfer performance you should expect from any Preddator. Pipetting accuracy can be improved in multiple ways on the Preddator, such as by adjusting
