Below is a brief overview of the LabTie's basic functions.  For a complete look at all of the LabTie's features and capabilities, check out our full article here.

LabTie™ Bead Loaders are high-efficiency laboratory dispensing systems designed to simplify and accelerate the loading of beads, powders, seeds, and small particles into microplates, deep-well plates, microvials, tubes, and laboratory trays.

Traditional bead loading methods using bottles, tweezers, spoons, or manual transfer tools are labor intensive, inconsistent, and time consuming. LabTie™ dispensers eliminate these workflow bottlenecks by providing rapid, repeatable, and accurate bead dispensing for high-throughput laboratory operations.

Each LabTie™ dispenser is individually designed, manufactured, and tested for laboratory-grade performance and reliability. These systems are used worldwide in research laboratories, universities, pharmaceutical laboratories, biotechnology facilities, and biochemical research institutes.

The modular dispenser design allows interchangeable mesh plates, enabling a single system to dispense multiple bead sizes, particle types, and loading volumes. LabTie™ dispensers are equally effective for dispensing very small diameter beads in bulk quantities or accurately depositing a small number of larger beads into each well or vial.

LabTie™ systems integrate effectively with BioSpec Porvair deep-well microplates for high-throughput homogenization workflows using steel bead media. For vial-based workflows, the systems are compatible with BioSpec 2.0 mL vial blocks, enabling simultaneous loading of up to 45 microvials.

Custom LabTie™ dispensers are also available for specialized laboratory workflows, including seed dispensing applications and custom particle loading requirements.

One of the largest advantages of the LabTie™ Bead Loader system is the significant reduction in manual labor and processing time. Depending on the workflow, users may achieve loading speeds up to 60 times faster than traditional manual dispensing methods while improving consistency and reducing operator error.
