Upgrade with confidence. Copia Scientific’s refurbished Formulatrix™ systems deliver OEM-level accuracy without the long lead times or premium price.
Tempest
The Formulatrix Tempest Dispenser is a cutting-edge, non-contact bulk reagent dispenser engineered for speed, accuracy, and versatility in high-throughput lab environments. Purpose-built for 96-well plate formats, the Tempest streamlines liquid handling tasks across a broad spectrum of workflows—from assay development and compound screening to routine reagent distribution and buffer preparation.
Utilizing innovative microfluidic technology, the Tempest delivers precise volumes with exceptional consistency, minimizing cross-contamination while enabling reagent conservation through accurate, low-volume dispensing. The system’s non-contact design eliminates tip waste and reduces consumables costs, making it both eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Its intuitive software interface allows for easy programming of complex dispensing patterns, while flexible protocol customization supports rapid transitions between different assay types. Whether your lab is focused on drug discovery, molecular biology, or general automation, the Tempest provides a robust solution for increasing throughput without compromising data quality.
