Liquid handling systems designed for small-molecule assays often fall short when applied to the complexities of biopharmaceuticals. The limitations of technologies like acoustic liquid transfer, including fixed droplet sizes, low source well volumes, and slow serial dispensing, create significant bottlenecks that compromise efficiency and material preservation in critical workflows.

This application note provides a comparative analysis of liquid handling technologies in the context of complex biologics. Through a practical case study on cell panel screening for cancer research, we demonstrate how the FlexDrop™ Plus non-contact dispenser, a unified, pressure-based dispensing platform can overcome the inherent limitations of conventional systems, offering higher precision, speed, and versatility required for modern biopharmaceutical development.
