M2-Automation
Microdispensing Instruments
M2-Automation's core focus and competency lies in the field of low-volume microdispensing instruments from R&D to production, from picolitre to microlitre.
Along with our 20 years of experience, we provide various configurations and microdispensers to help you to create the perfect platform for your Lab-on-a-Chip applications, DNA and protein microarray spotting, biochip functionalisation, diagnostic-membrane array printing and much more.
Our mission: From your first inquiry to the installation of your personalised instrument, we want you to experience the quality of our service and to benefit from our devotion to technical progress and automated solutions.
Low-Volume Dispensing
When it comes to achieving consistently excellent dispensing results, overcoming challenges is par for the course. But, when all of the factors and elements involved are considered, organised, controlled and contained within an optimal environment and under optimum conditions, the outcomes can be staggering.
The key elements of low-volume dispensing are the target substrate upon which the samples or liquids are dispensed, the samples or liquids themselves and how they are transferred from the source onto the target. These three elements are something that we at M2-Automation understand exceedingly well. Our team has a deep knowledge of how those elements need to interact in order to attain perfectly accurate results, in the most efficient way possible.
Microdispensing Technology
One of M2-Automation's core technologies, and part of every Microarray-Spotter setup, is our Microdispensing Technology. Providing a volume range from picolitre to microlitre, it's suited to a variety of applications. Our contact and non-contact dispensers are capable of handling tiny volumes of the most sensitive or very expensive samples, including solutions of all kinds of biomolecules or chemical reagents, and even suspensions of living cells and small, solid particles.
All M2-Automation instruments support all three microdispensers. Also, switching from one to the other is simple, and it does not require any tools. So there’s no need to buy a second instrument when working with picolitre, nanolitre and low-microlitre volumes.
MicroDispensing Instruments
The M2-familiy provides four different instruments for your ultra-low, liquid-handling applications in the picolitre to microlitre volume range. M2-Automation's iTWO, iONE and iZERO cover a very wide range from small R&D to high-throughput production systems. The ultra-compact iFOUR from our sister company, M2-Instruments, is the latest addition to our family.
All work with the same software and the same microdispensers, in order to make the expansion of your processes and projects as easy as possible for you.
InDot Software
InDot is the unique software package from M2-Automation, created to control all of our instruments and dispensers for a consistent user experience.
It’s an intuitive, innovative and inspiring way to create Dots of samples in any formation and position on substrates.
All in all, this highly flexible, sophisticated, easy-to-use, instrument-control software means that users can set up experiments with ease, speed and confidence, every time.
Application Examples
M2-Automations microdispensing instruments are used in a very wide range of specific applications all over the world.
We would like to share a few of them with you, in order to provide a rough idea on what is possible when fancy application ideas meet a dedicated team of scientists and engineers.
