TECHNOLOGY TWO SPOTTING TECHNOLOGIES sciDROP PICO SCIENION’s sciDROP PICO is a state of the art non-contact dispensing technology based on piezo driven pulses on an inert glass capillary. This enables accurate and precise droplet deposition under various conditions. All Piezo Dispense Capillaries (PDCs) feature full aspirate and dispense liquid handling capabilities at the picoliter scale. • Non-contact dispensing • Pico Dispense Capillaries (PDC) • State-of-the-art piezo ceramic around glass capillary • 80-250 um typical spot sizes • 50 to 800 picoliter drops • Up to 5 ~ 10 mPa.s (CPS) •...

TECHNOLOGY Select one or both technologies on the same instrument! sciDROP NANO The heart of the new sciDROP NANO technology is an electromagnetic micro valve with an extremely fast response time. Moreover, since the current is kept low, samples are kept at a safe temperature. A unique feature allows for both bulk dispensing from 1, 5, 10 and 50 ml vials, as well as an aspirate/dispense mode. sciDROP NANO is geared towards applications where lines have to be precisely deposited onto nitrocellulose sheets, lateral flow membranes, dipsticks or other materials. • Non-contact dispensing • Bulk...

PIEZO DISPENCE CAPILLARIES - PDC The sciDROP PICO option, together with SCIENION´s surface coating technology, provides access to a broad field of applications with high accuracy and precision dispensing a wide range of liquids: biomolecules using water based printing buffers, small molecules using a range of organic solvents, as well as a number of various viscous liquids. The technology is based on a ceramic piezo element that is fitted around a glass capillary. The piezo element is triggered by an electrical pulse which, in turn, leads to a contraction of the ceramic. This creates a...

sciFLEXARRAYER The sciFLEXARRAYER product line represents the perfect tool for automated ultra-low volume liquid handling of various types of samples (i.e. biological, organic, nanoparticle and dyes) in diagnostics, genomics, proteomics and technical applications. In addition, due to the inert nature of the glass capillaries, it is an ideal tool for miniaturized chemistry applications, such as in polymer and materials research. Within seconds, liquid volumes between 100 picoliters and 1 microliter can be spotted in steps of 100 picoliters. All systems are driven by the same state-of-the art...

sciFLEXARRAYER HIGH THROUGHPUT PRODUCTION sciFLEXARRAYER SX & sciFLEXARRAYER S100 The sciFLEXARRAYER SX with its maintenance-free linear stage is the ultimate contactless spotter optimized for high scale batch production. It can be equipped with up to eight channels of either a sciDROP PICO or sciDROP NANO dispensing unit for liquid handling of picoliter to microliter volumes. Thus, allowing the flexibility to produce ultralow volume targets like biosensors as well as lateral flow and microfluidic targets. The SX has a self-contained, stand-alone setup that can be rolled into any kind of...
