Assay‑Grade Results, One Software‑Defined Benchtop
Kaste Dispensing Studio is the central control hub for the Kaste Lab benchtop system, giving engineers full visibility and command over every dispensing step in real time. Through a unified touchscreen interface, users can design and execute protocols, manage reagents and cassettes, tune temperature, motion, and pressure setpoints, and leverage integrated vision and logging tools to verify each dispense, troubleshoot issues, and maintain assay‑grade performance across pumps, fluids, and applications.
What is Kaste Dispensing Studio?
Kaste Dispensing Studio is an application-level control and recipe management software for Kaste Lab, connecting directly and providing a unified interface to configure, execute, and monitor dispensing operations from lab development all the way to automated production cells.
The software guides users through setup of fluids, volumes, timings, and motion profiles, while automatically capturing key process parameters for each run. It is engineered for environments where microliter and nanoliter accuracy, compliance, and repeatability are non‑negotiable.
Why Kaste Dispensing Studio Stands Out
Kaste Dispensing Studio transforms dispensing from a black box into a transparent, controllable process asset. By combining recipe management, live process feedback, and integrated quality checks, it helps teams move from trial‑and‑error to data‑driven dispensing.
With one environment for engineers and operators, method development, scale‑up, and daily production run on the same foundation—reducing transfer risks and accelerating validation. Whether you are developing new assays, filling microfluidic cartridges, or scaling lateral flow production, Kaste Dispensing Studio keeps every dispense consistent and traceable.
With Kaste Dispensing Studio, every drop of your process is defined, controlled, and perfected—driving accuracy, consistency, and confidence in every dispense.
