Liquid handling Manual 96-channel pipette

Manual 96-channel pipette mPlateWizard: Technology and Application

The mPlateWizard models are mechanically operated 96-channel pipettes for daily use with microtitre plates. A single pipetting stroke fills all 96 wells simultaneously, ensuring identical pipetting motion for all channels and high reproducibility without electronic control. The absence of batteries and motors makes the devices low-maintenance and robust for continuous use.

Models and volume ranges

The mPlateWizard 20M operates in the 0.5–20 µl range and is suitable for applications with small volumes such as PCR setup, NGS library preparation, and cell-based assays. The mPlateWizard 220M covers 2–220 µl and is designed for ELISA, immunoassays, and general sample distribution on microtitre plates. List price per model: €14,000.00.

384-well plates

Both models are designed for use on 96- and 384-well plates. On 384-well plates, 96 wells are filled per stroke—a complete plate is processed in four pipetting steps, significantly faster than with 8-channel pipettes (48 steps) or single-channel pipettes (384 steps).

Distinction from the electronic 96-channel pipette

For applications with very small volumes below 1 µl or with increased requirements for dosing accuracy and programmable volumes, the electronic 96-channel pipette ePlateWizard (0.1–300 µl) is recommended. The manual models are the more robust and low-maintenance choice for standard applications with medium to larger volumes.
