sciPULSE - Extending standardized microdispensing capabilities for up to 8 Channels
For of a broad range of sample liquids, ultralow or high volumes, high viscosity samples and buffer additives.
sciPULSE - PULSE it easy
SCIENION’s sciPULSE enables to go beyond the standard parameters such as droplet volumes (down to 10 pL/ drop), spot diameter or viscosity of the currently available medium-sized PDCs. It is an easy plug-in hardware device, available as 1 channel or up to 4 channel configuration.
It can be universally applied and integrated into all sciFLEXARRAYER instruments (S3, S12, SX, S100), using Piezo Dispense Technology. It comes with its own software executable and various pre-validated application packages for a broad range of standard applications but also challenging sample types. sciPULSE reduces time required for development and validation of protocols and leads to significantly lower costs.
Benefits of sciPULSE
- Enables volumes down to 10 pL / drop (depending on sample liquid)
- Enables volumes up to 1.300 pL / drop (depending on sample liquid)
- 1 channel or up to 4 channels per device
- Dispensing of highly viscous samples
- Reduce significantly time, complexity & efforts for implementation of protocols
Available Software Packages
The sciPULSE device allows the implementation of sciPULSE Software Packages on all sciFLEXARRAYER platforms.
- Low Volume (150-220 pL)
- Ultra Low volume (down to 18 pL)
- High viscosity
- High Volume (600-800 pL)
- 1 nL
Low Volume
The sciPULSE LOW VOLUME Software Package enables the reduction of droplet volumes to 150 -220 pL with SCIENION’s PDC 80.
- Enables the reduction of droplet volumes down to 150 -220 pL
- Using only with SCIENION’s PDC 80 (Replacement of PDC50)
- Enables the reduction of spot diameters
- Significantly reduces the overall costs for the implementation
Ultra LOW VOLUME
The sciPULSE ULTRA LOW VOLUME Smaller drop volumes and spot diameter allow for the increased number of spots on a certain area with regards to multiplex applications.
- Enables the reduction of droplet volumes down to 10 -180 pL
- Usage standard PDCs 60, 70, 80 or 90
- Reduction of spot diameters down to 24 µm on an optimized target surface
High Viscosity
Applying sciPULSE VISC01 enables the dispensing of highly viscous samples up to 25 mPa*s that cannot be printed using standard pulse parameters.
- Enables stable printing of highly viscous samples like Glycerin or Ethylene
- Stable printing process has been demonstrated by dispensing 10 X 20 arrays of viscous samples
High Volume
The sciPULSE HIGH VOLUME Software Package enables the dispensing of droplet volumes to 600-800 pL with SCIENION’s PDC 80.
- Extends the sciDrop PICO standard droplet volumes to 600 -800 pL
- Using only with SCIENION’s PDC 100
- Requires Software Package, sciPULSE device and sciFLEXARRAYER dispenser
sciPULSE 1 nL
The sciPULSE 1nL Application Package, in combination with the sciPULSE hardware device and the sciFLEXARRAYER instrument, enables unique dispensing capabilities ranging from 1 up to 1.3 nL per drop.
- Piezo-generated drop volumes calculated by standard drop camera
- sciDROP PICO technology can be used for dispensing in the pL, nL and even µL range
- Significantly less spots required per position for lower nL volumes
