sciFLEXARRAYER SX
High-Throughput Batch Microdispensing: Precision at scale.
Designed for high-throughput batch production, the sciFLEXARRAYER SX delivers consistent results across large runs of slides or plates. Its robust mechanics, multi-channel dispensing and automation-friendly layout enable long, unattended sequences with tight process control and excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility. Whether you’re manufacturing multiplex assays, microarrays or lateral-flow components, SX provides the throughput you need without compromising accuracy. Same PICO/NANO compatibility, same software, just scaled for production environments, including cleanroom use.

Benefits
The SX is designed for both advanced research and industrial-scale workflows. Its large deck accommodates up to 140 microscope slides or 27 microtiter plates per batch, supporting high-throughput production and automated runs. This makes it ideal for diagnostics, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and other volume-driven applications, all while maintaining sciFLEXARRAYER precision.
The SX is highly adaptable to support advanced applications, specialty formats, and even nanoliter dispensing via custom configurations, offering the flexibility to tailor the system to your scientific needs.
The SX is fully compatible with cleanroom requirements, making it suitable for use in regulated environments such as IVD production, and other applications under GMP or ISO standards. Its robust design, low particle emission, and proven reliability support compliance without compromising microdispensing performance.
The SX is part of a unified microdispensing ecosystem, sharing the same core technology, software environment, and precision mechanics as all sciFLEXARRAYER systems. Discover the full range here.

Case Study
PRECISION ARRAY PRINTING WITH SCIFLEXARRAYER SX
The Challenge
Printing precision at the nanoscale.
InSilixa Inc., a California based pioneer in semiconductor biochips for molecular diagnostics, set out to miniaturize DNA analysis onto a CMOS chip for rapid pathogen detection. Featured in Nature Biotechnology (2018), their system required ultraprecise deposition of thousands of DNA probes, consistent alignment across 1,024 biosensors was critical for reliable real-time amplification and genotyping.
The Solution
Smart dispensing for smart chips.
Using the sciFLEXARRAYER SX, InSilixa printed ~100 picoliter DNA droplets directly onto the chip surface with submicron accuracy. The system’s piezo-driven, noncontact technology and fiducial-based vision control ensured perfect positional repeatability, contamination free operation, and full traceability.
The Outcome
From chip to diagnostic revolution.
sciFLEXARRAYER SX enabled high-density microarrays that powered InSilixa’s next-generation biochips, detecting over
1,000 targets within two hours and precisely identifying 54 drug resistance
mutations. A defining step toward scalable, point-of-care molecular diagnostics.
