Custom Made Dispensers

Fill the dispenser body with your material, level it with the scraper, place it on your loaded format and pull the slider once. Every position receives the same volume in the same motion.

The Dispenser (converter) for your labware, the holder or rack that keeps your tubes and vials in the grid, and the mesh plate that sets the dose volume and the hole shape. The dispenser body itself stays the standard part.

The container: a sample, a supplier drawing or the part number. Add the number of positions, the dose you want and the material you dispense. Send it with your quote request or by e-mail to moc.eitbal@ofni.

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

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

It stays yours. We build special and confidential canisters and cassettes under NDA, and such builds are never shown on this website.

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.

LabTIE can design and manufacture powder dispensers for virtually any container format: including non-standard well plates, custom tube racks, vial trays, and proprietary vessel geometries. Custom options include baseplate dimensions, mesh plate configurations, reservoir volumes, and material specifications to match your exact application requirements.

Contact LabTIE directly with your container format specifications, target dispensing volume, required throughput, and any regulatory or material requirements. The LabTIE team will assess feasibility, provide a design proposal and quotation, and manufacture a bespoke dispenser matched to your workflow.

Custom LabTIE dispensers can be configured for a broad range of volumes from approximately 1 µL up to several millilitres per well, tube, or vial. The mesh plate design is adapted to your specific target volume and powder characteristics, ensuring accurate and reproducible dispensing at your required scale.

All LabTIE dispensers: including custom models: are engineered to achieve less than 1% CV, providing highly reproducible fills across all positions in a single dispensing operation. Custom designs undergo validation testing to confirm performance specifications before delivery.

Yes: LabTIE custom dispensers are developed specifically for novel or non-standard pharmaceutical and drug discovery applications, including proprietary plate formats, miniaturised assay systems, and specialised compound storage requirements. Contact LabTIE to discuss your specific application in detail.

Custom LabTIE dispensers are designed around the specific powder characteristics of your compounds, including particle size, flow properties, density, and static behaviour. This tailored approach ensures optimal dispensing accuracy for APIs, excipients, reference standards, and other dry materials relevant to your application.

Lead times for custom dispensers vary depending on the complexity of the design. Straightforward adaptations of standard formats typically take 2–4 weeks, while fully novel designs may require 4–8 weeks including design review, prototyping, and validation. Contact LabTIE early in your project timeline for an accurate estimate.

A custom dispenser eliminates manual dispensing steps entirely by matching the exact geometry of your vessel format, allowing simultaneous filling of all positions in a single pass. This can reduce preparation time by 90% or more compared to manual methods, enabling higher-throughput workflows tailored to your specific containers.

Custom dispensers are designed with the same removable, solvent-cleanable components as standard LabTIE products. All product-contact parts are accessible for thorough cleaning with appropriate solvents between compounds. Material selection for custom parts can also be specified to ensure chemical compatibility with your solvents.

Custom dispenser manufacturing typically takes 2–8 weeks depending on design complexity. Once completed, shipping times depend on your location: most European deliveries take 1–2 weeks. LabTIE will provide a full project timeline, including design, manufacturing, and delivery estimates, at the time of order.

Yes: LabTIE supplies custom mesh plates as standalone accessories for both standard and custom dispenser models. Provide your current dispenser format and target dispensing volume, and LabTIE will manufacture matched replacement or additional mesh plates to expand your dispensing capability.

Yes: custom LabTIE dispensers are covered by the same manufacturer’s warranty as standard products, protecting against defects in materials and workmanship. Warranty terms are confirmed at the time of order. Contact LabTIE for full warranty documentation and after-sales support options.
