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.
Discover the simple way to create dose-response curves, enzyme profiles, synergy experiments, single-cell isolation, and miniaturize assays with the Duo Digital Dispenser. Powered by HP’s proven microfluidic digital dispensing technology, Duo offers:
- Precise dispensing: Dispense reagents and isolate cells in picoliter to microliter volumes (and 1–25 cells per well) directly into assay plates, eliminating the need for serial dilutions.
- Time-saving: Streamline your workflow by generating dose-response curves, conducting synergy experiments, and performing single-cell isolation directly from stock solutions or cell suspensions—minimizing manual steps and saving time.
- Resource optimization: Lower consumption of precious samples, reagents, and cells, and accelerate research processes across drug discovery, genomics, proteomics, and cell biology.
- Flexible applications: Supports a wide range of workflows, including drug discovery, genomics miniaturization, single-cell omics, cell line development, and more.
- Plug-and-play usability: Ready to use within minutes after unboxing, with intuitive software for easy protocol setup and auto-generated reports.
