The world’s most flexible, non-contact bulk reagent dispenser
The Preddator is a low-volume, non-contact, bulk reagent dispenser that was designed and developed in close collaboration with research scientists from two major pharmaceutical companies. An ideal replacement for the BioRptr.
The Preddator was originally designed as part of the scientists’ brief for a new reagent dispenser that could overcome 3 key issues:
- Reduce tip blocking and improve assay data
- Reduce the long-term costs of consumables
- Reduce assay volumes, without compromising on accuracy and precision
The Preddator achieved these goals and systems were placed and endorsed by pharmaceutical scientists worldwide. The Preddator now offers an unparalleled set of features and benefits to users of bulk reagent dispensers.
