LABTIE PRODUCTS
Laboratory Dispensers & Grinding Media
Manual seed, bead and powder dispensers, bead beaters and grinding media for fast, accurate, reproducible sample preparation. Choose a standard configuration or have one built around your exact container and sample.
THE RANGE
Smart laboratory solutions for better science
SEEDS 0.2 TO 9.0 MM
Compatible with more than 120 seed types. Dispense single or multiple seeds per action into plates, trays, petri dishes and blot paper.
The mini bead beater 96 supports grinding and disruption assays across a full plate, a compact alternative to larger tissue lysers.
BEADS 0.3 TO 6.0 MM
Quickly dispense beads and grinding media into plates, vials and tubes for DNA and RNA extraction, lysis and homogenization assays.
High quality beads and balls for disruption and homogenization, in chrome, stainless steel, zirconia, glass and more, in small or bulk quantities.
POWDERS 1 to 1500 μL
Accurate, fast dispensing of powders across a wide range of volumes into plates, tubes and vials, without weighing each position.

Choosing the right laboratory dispenser
Standard or Custom
LabTIE laboratory dispensers replace slow, manual loading of seeds, beads and powders with a fast, repeatable, mesh plate method. Whether you run germination assays, DNA and RNA extraction, homogenization or high throughput sample preparation, the right dispenser removes a bottleneck and keeps every well consistent.
Seed, bead and powder dispensers
A seed dispenser places single or multiple seeds per well and works with more than 120 seed types, from tiny Arabidopsis and teff seeds to larger crop seeds, into microplates, germination trays, petri dishes and blot paper. A bead dispenser loads grinding and lysis beads into 96 well plates, deep well plates, matrix tubes and vials, ready for bead beating, DNA and RNA extraction and microbiome sample prep. A powder dispenser doses fine powders and particulate material into plates, tubes and vials without weighing each position, which matters for reproducible chemistry and pharmaceutical workflows.
Standard formats and grid sizes
LabTIE dispensers support common laboratory grid formats including 24, 45, 48, 96 and 384 positions, and work with plates, tubes, vials, petri dishes and trays. Exchangeable mesh plates let you switch seed type, bead size or powder volume in seconds, so one dispenser body can serve many protocols. For most labs a standard configuration is the quickest way to start.
When to choose a custom dispenser
If your container is not a standard plate, a custom dispenser is built from two parts: a mesh plate matched to your seed, bead or powder, and a converter that fits your exact plate, tube rack, vial holder or container. Our tech division has built dispensers for GC vials, cryoboxes, deep well racks, rectangular well plates and many other formats. Tell us the container and the sample and we design around it.
