Product catalog summary
Key Features
  • Offers a selection of pipette types to match samples, ensuring no impact on sensitive surfaces due to non-contact technology.
  • Provides homogeneous spot topology and unlimited replica spots with adjustable spot volume.
  • Features arbitrary array layout independent of pipette head layout, with options for chilling and humidification.
  • Supports non-contact picolitre pipetting for high-quality sample preparation and micro cavity filling.
Applications
  • Used for creating microarrays for research and diagnostics involving DNA, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.
  • Facilitates spotting of cells and beads onto various targets and pipetting of miniaturized assays.
  • Enables loading of biosensors.
System Platforms
  • Available in two sizes, NP2.1 and NP2.1/E, with features like 1 to 16 independent piezoelectric pipetting tips, sample aspiration from micro plates, and high array density.
  • Includes removable target trays, dust covers, and high precision with XY repetition accuracy.
Technical Data
  • NP2.1 and NP2.1/E differ in dispensing area, traversing range, and footprint dimensions.
  • Both models support a maximum pipetting height of 50 mm and operate on a power supply of 110-240 V.
Components and Accessories
  • Features piezoelectric tips made from silicon and glass, minimizing sample contact with other materials.
  • Includes effective washing technology to prevent cross-contamination and optional temperature control for surface temperature management.

GESIM Nano-Plotter Spot Quality DNA-, Protein Arrays ** Piezoelectric technology allows different spot sizes by varying the number of drops per spot without changing the tip itself. The observation camera without software support allows two different magnifications and offers the manual teach-in of XYZ positions. The instrument software, NPC16, comes with an intuitive user interface and supports quick setup of the Nano-PlotterTM for all arraying tasks. Service routines avoid the “drying up” of the piezoelectric tips during short breaks and monitor test results and images of the on-board cameras...
