Smart laboratory solutions for better science
Flexible dispenser systems for every application
Standard Dispensers
Pre configured, ready to use and available to buy directly. A reliable, proven choice for labs that want a fast, simple solution in one of our standard formats.
Custom Dispensers
Built by our own tech division around your exact workflow. Every custom dispenser comes down to two parts you choose.
The hole size and pattern, matched to your seed, bead or powder.
The bottom unit that fits your plate, tube rack or vial holder.
Dispensers built for real labs
A few of the custom converters, mesh plates and complete systems we have engineered for containers well beyond the standard plate.
Choosing the right laboratory dispenser
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.
Applications
Seed germination and vitality assays. DNA and RNA extraction and sample homogenization. Microbiome and metagenomics sample preparation. Pharmaceutical and material science powder dosing. High throughput screening in 96 and 384 well formats.
Every LabTIE dispenser is designed, produced and tested in house, and pairs with our grinding media and the mini bead beater 96 for a complete sample preparation workflow. If you are moving away from manual loading, a LabTIE dispenser is a simple, proven upgrade that pays back quickly in time saved and consistency gained.
