Why do so many customers choose to order pre-owned dispensers from us?
They want to confirm that the dispenser has been checked for consistent CVs across multiple runs.
________________________________________
They want to ensure all dispense channels are individually verified for volumetric accuracy across micro- and milliliter ranges, using gravimetric or dye-based validation protocols.
________________________________________
They want to confirm that the system delivers consistent volume per well across 96-, 384-, and 1536-well plates, eliminating the risk of edge bias, nozzle drift, or plate misalignment.
________________________________________
They want peace of mind knowing the dispenser was cleaned, serviced, and tested.
________________________________________
They want to confirm that any integrated syringe, peristaltic, or gear pump components operate within tolerance under load, without overpressure, pulsation, or valve sticking.
