Product catalog summary
Overview: The Nano-Plotter is a versatile system designed for microarraying and picolitre pipetting, suitable for applications such as biosensors and microcavity filling. It features non-contact pipetting with various pipette types and can be equipped with up to 16 independently operating piezoelectric dispensers. Additional features include chilling, humidification, and alternative dispensers.
Basic Configurations: Available in two sizes, NP 2.1 for up to 55 slides and NP 2.1/E for up to 120 slides, the Nano-Plotter includes a stroboscope for droplet visualization and automatic pipette checking. It can be configured with up to 16 channels, each with a piezoelectric microdispenser, PTFE tube system, and syringe pump. The pipette head can hold up to 16 pipettes for flexible sample uptake.
Work Deck Configuration: The customizable workspace includes wash/dry stations, MTP holders, and slide decks. Options include cooled holders and decks for microtiter plates, with configurations for both landscape and portrait orientations. Slide decks can be cooled, and various fixation methods are available.
Chilling and Humidifying: The system supports cooling and humidifying options, including ultrasonic humidifiers and complete cooling systems for plates and slides. Cooling tube sets are available for different configurations.
Automatic Source Plate Handling: Integration with a Cytomat plate handler allows for automated source plate handling, including temperature and humidity control.
Dispensers and Droplet Measurement: A range of piezoelectric dispensers, including Nano-Tip and Pico-Tip options, are available for different droplet volumes. Dispensers for high viscosity applications can be equipped with heaters for temperature control.
Flow Sensor for Droplet Measurement: Flow sensors are available for monitoring droplet measurement across multiple channels.
Accessories and Upgrades: The Nano-Plotter can be upgraded with various accessories, including pumps, syringes, and electronic components. Service and instrument upgrades are also available.

Nano-Plotter Product Overview Microarraying and Picolitre Pipetting | Non-contact picolitre pipetting for high-quality spotting, be it microarrays, biosensors, or filling of microcavities | Selection of pipette types to match the sample, not vice versa | Up to 16 independently operating piezoelectric dispensers | Many extras such as chilling, humidification, alternative dispensers, plate handler, and more The Nano-Plotter is probably one of the most flexible systems of its kind. It comes with a diverse number of pipettes (later upgrades possible) and a host of accessories to suit your needs. So first select the platform, either the small NP 2.1 or the large NP 2.1/E. Then choose the number of inkjet dispensers (1 to 16). GESIM Product Overview Select the dispenser type, with droplet volumes ranging from 50 to 400 picoliters. Add a slide deck. If you have non-standard targets, you can either order a customized one or rearrange the standard deck to one with a flat surface. Other typical extras are humidifier and chiller. Possibilities do not end here. Select from special dispensers (heatable inkjet tips, adhesive dispensers, pin tools, etc.). You can also change the number or arrangement of microtiter plates. Or use a refrigerated plate handler for thousands of samples. If you print biosensors, a microscope system for automatic image-based recognition of tiny structures is also available.
