The ATS Acoustic Liquid Dispenser, Model ATS-100AV transfers chemical and biological solutions with unparalleled accuracy and precision directly from one plate to another. The ATS is flexible, application friendly and is highly adaptable to meet a broad range of liquid handling needs and requirements. Using EDC Biosystems' patented acoustic transfer process, you can perform your experiments with the lowest starting and dead volumes of any liquid handling device on the market. There are no print heads with fixed-spacing or volume-specific tip sizes to deal with, and no cross-contamination. The ATS easily integrates with other laboratory equipment for a complete automated solution.

The patented acoustic transfer system uses focused low-energy sound waves to dispense droplets from a source well and then transfers those droplets to destination sites on a target substrate. Portions of the sound waves reflect back to the transducer. The reflected acoustic signal is then used to determine the position of the remaining liquid in the well. As the fluid level drops, the transducer is re-positioned, maintaining focus on the surface of the fluid, and the dispense process is repeated.

In simple terms, it is a means for transferring liquid from a source to a destination without the use of pins, tips, syringes or a capillary device. The transfer is direct, accurate, and extremely repeatable.

No other instrument can provide the level of liquid dispensing flexibility that the ATS has. From pre-plating of compounds for screening, dose-responses, hit-picking, plate reformatting and consolidation, to PCR, protein crystallography, niche arrays, and delivery of liquids onto microfluidic devices, the ATS is designed and built ready to handle any application requiring accurate and precise liquid transfers of ultra-low volumes.

The ATS can dispense from 96, 384, 1536 & 3456 wellplates. Transfer liquid from your choice of source plate? into any destination substrate imaginable. Total liquid transfer volumes start as low as 1.0 nL. A wide range of liquids can be transferred by the ATS using any calibration available on the system. The ATS has a lower starting and dead volume than any other automated instrument, delivering high performance while conserving resources and reducing costs.
