DISPENSING TECHNOLOGIES

Contact Dispensing:

FrontLine:
Frontline dispensing is ideal for printing lines on
membranes and other substrates for BioChips.
The technology couples a high resolution
syringe pump with a microtube. During
dispensing the micro-tube glides across
the surface of the membrane or substrate
to create a quantitative line. The width of
the line can be adjusted by increasing or
decreasing the programmed volume of the line.

Silicon Pins:
The Silicon MicroarrayTM Printer fabricates highly precise microarrays at a fast rate and low cost. Ultra high precision micromachining capabilities and the unique physical properties of single crystal silicon have been combined to create a contact printing technology.

Using the Parallel Synthesis Silicon Pins allows for a very dense array with reduced carryover. The Silicon Pins are also capable to aspirate from a 1536 well source plate and have no pre-spotting requirements.

Non-Contact Dispensing:

sciFLEXARRAYER™:
The Scienion sciFLEXARRAYER piezo system is a non contact liquid handling and spotting system. The technology dispenses with a high dynamic volume range (picoliter to microliter) and can accurately aspirate and dispense aqueous and organic solutions as well as living cells. Using piezo, spot volume can be changed as well as dispensing reagents on top of each other without contamination. Results can be analyzed with standard technology and give immediate results for optimal reaction parameters.

BioJet Plus:
The proprietary BioJet Plus technology was developed for high speed dispensing. The technology involves (1) the coupling of a high speed micro solenoid valve with a high resolution syringe pump and (2) synchronization of the dispense system with the movements of the stage. The result is an extremely fast dispensing system which can deliver volumes from 20 nL to 4 µL in a single drop. BioJet Plus can work in either an Aspirate/Dispense or Bulk Dispense modes.

Use BioJet Plus to dispense buffers, antibodies, enzymes or cells. BioJet Plus dispensing is independent of the substrate allowing flexible dispensing to microtiter plates, glass slides or membranes. BioJet Plus systems are available from compact R&D systems to complete integrated manufacturing modules.
