sciDROP NANO

Product catalog summary

Overview of sciDROP NANO: The sciDROP NANO is a versatile modular technology designed to enhance the capabilities of sciFLEXARRAYER bioprinters. It utilizes a new valving technology to dispense droplets ranging from 8 to 200 nanoliters, complementing the existing sciDROP PICO technology. This system is characterized by an electromagnetically actuated valve that operates without generating significant heat, maintaining reagents at ambient conditions.

Key Features: The sciDROP NANO offers both bulk dispensing and precise aspirate and dispense options, with flow rates up to 8 ml/min. It supports printing of dots, lines, bars, fields, and coatings, and is compatible with all sciFLEXARRAYER systems. The technology allows for precise deposition with +/-10 micron positional accuracy and can handle a variety of materials including nitrocellulose sheets and lateral flow membranes.

Technical Specifications: The system supports a drop volume of 8-200 nl, a repetition rate of 1-2000 Hz, and a viscosity range of 1-200 mPa.s. It ensures dispense precision with less than 5% coefficient of variation (CV) and a maximum flow rate of 8 ml/min at 1 bar. The materials used include corundum, PEEK, and stainless steel, with a nano dispenser orifice of 150 µm.

Applications: The sciDROP NANO is suitable for precise dosing from nanoliters to microliters, drawing reagent lines, printing on nitrocellulose sheets, dipstick printing, miniaturized PCR, MALDI plate spotting, and cell dispensing.

Additional Options: The system can be configured with up to four dispense lines and offers various adapters for aspiration from microplates, deep well plates, tubes, or flasks. It includes an internal wire mesh filter to prevent clogging and supports 24/7 operation. The DropVolume software enables precise volume detection.

About sciDROP NANO The sciDROP NANO option increases the versatility of all sciFLEXARRAYER bioprinters. This modular technology is based on a new valving technology that delivers droplets of sizes between 8 and 200 nl and complements existing SCIENION picoliter dispensing technology, sciDROP PICO. All sciFLEXARRAYER systems can be equipped with both dispensing technologies: sciDROP PICO and sciDROP NANO. The heart of the sciDROP NANO technology is an electro-magnetically actuated valve that quickly opens and closes a pressurized liquid line. Due to the design of the system and in contrast to...
