Duo Digital Dispenser™

Duo Digital Dispenser™

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.

Streamline your workflow

Flexible Plate Maps Highest precision and speed

Dispense volumes from pico to microliters with picoliter precision. Isolate single cells in ~5 minutes across a 384-well plate, with >90 % isolation success and dispense reagents in <3 minutes.

Gentle on cells

The microfluidic technology ensures robust 90% cell viability and clonal outgrowth efficiency comparable to manual pipetting, without any risk of cross-contamination.³

Accessible and flexible

Use the Duo Digital Dispenser the way you need it. Get your instrument at an affordable rate and purchase cassettes based on your specific dispensing needs – be it for single-cell dispensing, general liquid dispensing, or both.

Rely on proven technology

Powered by HP’s proven microfluidic digital dispensing technology and trusted by over 1’000 industry-leading customers. Expect consistent performance and a durable instrument built to last.

Truly plug-and-play

Ready within minutes after unboxing. Simply plug in your cable, install the highly user-friendly software, define your plate and dispensing pattern and hit run.

Combine cell and reagent dispensing on the same instrument.
