Overview

The Duo Digital Dispenser combines single-cell isolation and reagent dispensing in one powerful, benchtop instrument — streamlining workflows and enabling faster, more reproducible, high precision experiments. The Duo drastically reduces dosing time from 10 minutes to just 15 seconds and enables surfactant-free dispensing. Single-cell isolation is completed in about 5 minutes. Unbox, plug in, and get started instantly. Duo automates performance — so you can focus on results.
