Problem
Traditional acoustic liquid dispensers are large, expensive instruments that require dedicated lab space and specialized training, putting precise nanoliter-scale dispensing out of reach for many research labs and biotech startups. These systems often rely on proprietary software and closed APIs, limiting workflow flexibility and integration with existing automation pipelines.
Solution
Trisonic Discovery provides the A1 Acoustic Dispenser, a compact and affordable acoustic liquid handling platform that delivers precise 2.5 nL droplets of both aqueous solutions and DMSO. The instrument is lightweight at 30 kg and compact enough to fit inside a standard biosafety cabinet, enabling safe handling of hazardous compounds without dedicated cleanroom space. The A1 is controlled through web-based software that requires no local installation, and it includes a free open-source API for seamless integration into custom automation workflows. This combination of low cost, small footprint, and open programmability makes high-precision acoustic dispensing accessible to a wider range of laboratories.
Target Audience
Primary customers are academic research laboratories, biotech startups, and contract research organizations that need precise nanoliter dispensing for assay development, compound management, or high-throughput screening but lack the budget or space for traditional acoustic dispensers.
