The ground-breaking mosquito positive displacement pipetting solutions integrate the power of miniaturization and automation to enhance productivity, decrease costs, and optimize research output.
High Performance at a Fraction of the Cost
The mosquito's special nanoliter liquid handling technology allows users to execute “traditional” liquid handling tasks at a fraction of the volume and at higher speeds. The instrument uses positive displacement disposable micropipettes to tackle low volumes of liquid in plate-to-plate or intra-plate transfers utilizing contact dispensing.
Each of mosquito’s disposable micropipettes consists of its separate piston, not an air gap, or system liquid available for true positive displacement pipetting.

After testing several robots from different companies, we recently decided to buy a second instrument, since the first one was our main work horse and the favorite of all users. It is easy to calibrate and to adjust according to the wishes of the users."
Gabriele Rummel, Novartis AG
The mosquito is wonderful, very easy to use once it is set up and calibrated correctly. I've been using it to dispense small volumes into 384 well plates - so happy not to do it by hand!"
Hayley Bennett, Genentech
The Mosquito transferred our ability to set up protein crystallization screens. The work of a day can be done in minutes."

Crystallography
Automate Protein Crystallization Screening
To enable reliable, rapid, and reproducible crystallization screen transfers, automated systems for protein crystallization screening unlock the potential of crystallography-based structural biology.
mosquito® Xtal3
Rapid and Efficient Protein Crystal Screening
mosquito Xtal3 integrates speed, precision, and performance in crystallization drop set up. The instrument allows scientists to utilize smaller volumes of earlier protein samples without the risk of contamination and automate famous protein crystallization screening methods to expedite research.

mosquito® LCP
Accurate, Reproducible Automation for Liquid Cubic Phase (LCP) Setups
mosquito LCP for membrane protein crystallization allows precise and reproducible automation for liquid cubic phase (LCP) set-ups.
The ground-breaking positive displacement technology defeats the common issues of precisely dispensing highly viscous LCP materials. Automated pipette and syringe positioning calibration guarantees accurate drop-on-drop placement for automated imaging.

mosquito® crystal
Fast, Accurate, and Precise Pipetting for Protein Crystallography
The mosquito crystal integrates speed, precision, and high-accuracy pipetting of nanoliter volumes with zero cross-contamination from a disposable tip. The volumes as low as 10 nL on multi-aspirate enable scientists to make the most of precious protein samples while gaining advantage from the adaptability to change methods simply.
