Ultra-low volume dispensing systems for R&D and manufacturing

BENEFITS of sciDROP-ON-DEMAND

• Homogenous spot morphology: No more donuts and comets
• No damage to sensitive surfaces, as can result from contacting metal pins
• Dispensing into very small cavities is enabled
• Drop volume is fully controlled by implementing a proprietary vision-based algorithm

HIGH PRECISION & ACCURACY

• Precision : ≃ 3 um
• Accuracy : ≃ 10 um
• Dispensing volume: < 2% CV

LOW VOLUME REAGENT DISPENSING

• Very small dead volume: < 2 μL
• Enables assay miniaturization beyond current limits
• Easily dispense sub-nanoliter amounts of reagents into 1536 or 3456-well plates, with better than 0.05 mm positioning
• Dispense directly from low profile vials or tubes, or from any plates, without the need for specialized labware

APPLICATION

• DNA, protein, GLYCAN ARRAYS and Biosensors
• Cell transfection array
• MALDI-MS
• MULTIPLEXED LATERAL FLOW
• BIOSENSOR LOADING
• MICRONEEDLES
