*Multidrop Combi SMART+ uses RFID to track cassette usage

Increase your control of Thermo Scientific Multidrop reagent dispensers. Thermo Scientific FILLit Software is an easy-to-use tool that allows rapid development of protocols that can be run directly from the PC or transferred into instrument memory.

Features:

  • Extensive plate list containing plates from different manufacturers is available for selection.
  • User can select discrete wells (Multidrop Combi nL), rows (Multidrop Combi nL) or columns for filling
  • Protocols created by the user can be stored in the database from which they can be executed for further use or modification.
  • Protocols can also be downloaded to the instrument for stand-alone use or transferred from the Multidrop back to the PC for further modifications.
