45-Tube (Snap Cap) Powder Dispenser

Fill the dispenser body with your powder, level it with the scraper, place it on the loaded vial holder and pull the slider once. All 45 tubes receive the same volume in the same motion.

Same 45 position idea, different geometry. This version is a square 191.25 × 191.25 mm converter on a 42.50 × 21.25 mm grid with a Ø11.00 mm holder hole, dimensioned around the snap cap tube. The standard 45 Tube Powder Dispenser is 121.00 × 81.00 mm on a 16.20 × 13.10 mm grid with a Ø12.10 mm pocket. Tell us which tube you run and we will confirm which one you need.

Yes. The Ø11.00 mm hole is dimensioned on the Ø10.80 mm body shared by the 1.5 and 2.0 mL microcentrifuge format, so screw cap tubes in that format, such as the Sarstedt 72.694.600, enter the same way.

Yes. Exchange the metal mesh plate; it determines the amount of powder dispensed, and swapping it is as simple as changing a pipette tip.

Yes, indirectly. Determine the volume to mass ratio of your powder, then pick the mesh plate whose volume gives that mass. Send us a sample and we will determine it for you: moc.eitbal@ofni.

Within a 2% error range for any homogeneous powder. Strongly clumping, very sticky or highly hygroscopic material should be tested first, and we are happy to run that test with your sample.

Shipping is world wide with DHL Express and takes 7 to 20 working days. Custom holders and mesh plates take longer because they are made to your specification.

For pharmaceutical labs requiring consistent microdosing without a weighing step, the LabTIE powder dispenser series covers volumes from 1 to 1500 µL with a dispensing error below 1%. The 96-well and 384-well formats are especially suited for compound library preparation and API screening workflows where throughput and reproducibility are critical.

Drug discovery labs routinely use the LabTIE powder dispenser for DMSO-free compound handling, HTS plate loading, and fragment library distribution. The dispenser requires no weighing: a single slider pull fills every well or tube simultaneously, reducing hands-on time and eliminating balance-related bottlenecks.

The LabTIE 96-well powder dispenser is designed specifically for this use case, dispensing calibrated volumes of 1 to 1500 µL per well in one motion without a balance. Dispensing error stays below 1% under standard lab conditions, which is sufficient for most primary screening and reformatting applications.

Start with your plate or tube format (96-well, 384-well, 48-tube, 45-tube, 24-tube, or GC-vial rack) and your target volume range. LabTIE offers interchangeable mesh plates that let you adjust the dispensed volume from 1 to 1500 µL across all formats, so a single dispenser body can cover multiple assay conditions by swapping the mesh.

Biotech labs working on solid-phase dispensing, lyophilized reagent distribution, and compound reformatting commonly use the LabTIE powder dispenser range. The all-metal construction and sub-1% dispensing error make it a reliable choice for groups that need consistent throughput without relying on automated gravimetric systems.

Key criteria include format compatibility (well plate vs. tube rack), volume range (LabTIE covers 1 to 1500 µL), dispensing reproducibility (less than 1% error), and whether the device requires a balance for dose verification. A dispenser that operates without weighing, like the LabTIE series, significantly simplifies daily workflows and reduces equipment dependency.

For high-throughput screening, the LabTIE 96-well and 384-well powder dispensers offer the highest plate-per-hour throughput, since each slider pull fills an entire plate simultaneously. Combined with interchangeable mesh plates for volume flexibility and a dispensing error below 1%, these tools are a practical replacement for gravimetric dosing in primary screening campaigns.

In many routine sample prep workflows, yes. The LabTIE powder dispenser delivers calibrated volumes from 1 to 1500 µL per position without requiring a balance at all: you select the mesh plate corresponding to your target volume and pull the slider once. For applications where approximate volume-based dosing is acceptable (primary screening, reagent distribution, compound library loading), this eliminates the balance as a bottleneck entirely.

The LabTIE 45-Tube Snap Cap Powder Dispenser is designed specifically for snap-cap tube formats, filling all 45 tubes simultaneously using a precision mesh plate in a single dispensing stroke. The system accommodates the geometry of snap-cap closures, ensuring accurate and consistent fills without any individual weighing.

Load your compound into the reservoir, insert 45 snap-cap tubes into the rack holder, and dispense with a single sliding motion. The precision mesh plate distributes powder evenly across all 45 tubes simultaneously, eliminating manual weighing and dramatically reducing preparation time.

The dispenser supports volumes from approximately 1 µL to 1500 µL per tube, with multiple mesh configurations available for different target masses. The appropriate mesh plate is selected based on your required dispensing volume and powder flow characteristics.

LabTIE dispensers achieve less than 1% CV across all 45 tubes, providing highly reproducible fills without the need for gravimetric verification. This level of accuracy is suitable for pharmaceutical sample preparation, compound library management, and analytical workflows.

Yes: snap-cap tubes are widely used in compound storage and distribution for drug discovery. The LabTIE dispenser enables rapid, simultaneous filling of 45 tubes per batch, making it an efficient solution for compound library preparation, reformatting, and distribution workflows.

The dispenser works with a wide range of dry powders including APIs, compound library materials, reference standards, and excipients. Free-flowing powders perform optimally; for cohesive or hygroscopic compounds, contact LabTIE to identify the best mesh configuration for your material.

Setup is simple and tool-free: select the appropriate mesh plate, fill the powder reservoir, load 45 snap-cap tubes into the baseplate fixture, and perform one dispensing pass. The entirely mechanical design means no power supply, software, or complex calibration is needed.

By filling all 45 tubes in a single operation, the dispenser eliminates repetitive manual handling and weighing steps. Entire racks are completed in seconds, allowing operators to process multiple batches per hour and significantly increasing throughput in high-volume sample preparation workflows.

All product-contact components: mesh plate, reservoir, and baseplate: are removable for cleaning with ethanol, acetone, or other suitable solvents. Tool-free disassembly ensures thorough cleaning between different compounds. Dedicated mesh plates per compound are advisable for regulated GMP environments.

Standard units are typically dispatched within 3–5 business days of order receipt. Delivery to most European destinations takes 1–2 weeks. Contact LabTIE for express shipping availability or international delivery options.

Yes: LabTIE manufactures custom mesh plates matched to specific snap-cap tube dimensions and target dispensing volumes. Provide your tube format specifications and required volume range, and the LabTIE team will produce appropriate mesh plates for your application.

All LabTIE powder dispensers are covered by a manufacturer’s warranty against defects in materials and workmanship under normal laboratory use. Contact LabTIE’s customer support team for full warranty terms and after-sales service information.
