WELLJET Dispenser
Rapid filling of microplates
A revolution in reagent dispensing
- Two models, one purpose. Rapid microplate filling for increased throughput in every lab – at an affordable price and with low running costs.
- The WELLJET dispenser and dispenser stacker are designed to offer superior user experience and flexibility for applications requiring low cost and precise reagent dispensing. Both models use a revolutionary type of dispensing cassettes (EasySnap™) which allow for low running costs and easy handling. With their highly compact design, both the dispenser and the dispenser stacker exhibit the smallest footprints for instruments of their kind, saving valuable bench space. A large, high resolution touchscreen user interface guarantees intuitive and effortless programming.
Did you know?
While the WELLJET dispenser is a true workhorse for processing of 96 and 384 well plates, any standard plate format from 6 up to 1536 wells is accepted, including deep well plates and tube racks with standard (SLAS/ANSI-) footprint.
Dispenser Stacker
Highly compact footprint for fast, hands-free filling of microplates
The WELLJET reagent dispenser can be used for a vast number of applications including:
- ELISAs
- Cell-based assays
- Kinetic assays
- Screening assays
- Assay development
- Genomic and proteomic analyses
For sterile dispensing of liquids the WELLJET dispenser stacker can be conveniently placed into a laminar flow cabinet
EasySnap™ cassettes enable low running costs
The new EasySnap™ dispensing cassette for the WELLJET represents a technology
breakthrough in the precision and reliability of reagent dispensers: At the
interface to the pump unit, the cassettes are built of molded silicone tubings
(patent pending) which eliminate the typical channel to channel variations
seen with conventional dispensing cassettes.
While the tubings of currently marketed dispensing cassettes are made of
extruded silicone and require tedious recalibration to compensate for their
inherent variations from channel to channel, EasySnap™ cassettes are accurate
and precise by design, as every tubing is manufactured to the exact same
dimension. Best of all, EasySnap™ cassettes are less expensive in the
acquisition and running costs, saving valuable budget in your lab!
Simple cassette handling
Loading of dispensing cassettes has never been easier! The WELLET EasySnap™ dispensing cassettes offer simple and worry-free insertion. Due to its robust design and molded silicone tubings, there is no need to worry about breaking the cassette or making a mistake during loading.
- EasySnap™ cassettes are robust and convenient to hold for easy cassette loading.
- Simply snap the cassette into place and start dispensing.
Accuracy and precision
The three different cassette models ensure accurate and precise dispensing of most liquids across a broad volume range (0.5 µl to 10 ml). Each cassette is provided sterilized and can be autoclaved. To speed things up, the 16 channel cassette even allows filling of 384 well plates in one pass, reducing the processing time to a minimum!
Volume | Dispensing precision (CV) | Dispensing accuracy |
---|---|---|
Small bore dispensing cassettes 2 µl | ≤4 % | ±3 % (typical) |
8 channel / 16 channel 10 µl | ||
≤2.5 % | ±1 % (typical) | |
50 µl | ≤1 % | ±1 % (typical) |
Large bore dispensing cassette 20 µl | ≤2.5 % | ±1.5 % (typical) |
8 channel
50 µl| ≤1.5 %| ±1 % (typical)
100 µl| ≤1 %| ±1 % (typical)
Speed and flexibility
- The WELLJET has been designed for fast and efficient plate processing, especially with the dispenser stacker. Single plates can be filled in seconds and processing a stack of 25 or 50 plates only takes a few minutes.
- Both instruments fit anywhere in the lab – including under laminar flow hoods – for flexible dispensing into 6 to 1536 well plates.
- Optionally the WELLJET dispenser can also be integrated into automated workflows.
- Simply start dispensing at the push of a button!
Hands-free processing of plates and increased walk-away time. WELLJET does the job for you.
Superior user interaction
The intuitive set-up of the user interface, combined with a large, high- resolution touchscreen, allows quick and efficient setup of dispensing protocols. Cleaning routines can be easily defined and saved to minimize clogging of dispense nozzles and keep the instrument clean and functional. The integrated plate library ensures that plate dimensions are not only stored, but well organized and searchable.

The optional tube holder for 15 and 50 ml tubes allows dead volumes to be
reduced to a minimum, saving precious reagents!
