Overview
The sciFLEXARRAYER S3 from Scienion has been developed for an automated piezo-driven, non-contact dispensing system of ultra-low volumes.
Introduction
The sciFLEXARRAYER S3 is considered an automated piezo-driven, non-contact dispensing system of ultra-low volumes particularly developed as an economical entry unit for academia as well as R&D labs.
The S3 is ideal for DNA production, cell transfection arrays, protein and glycan arrays, and for loading biosensor surfaces or MALDI-MS targets.
While being developed for academic budgets, the sciFLEXARRAYER S3 system is available with a similar proprietary sciDROP PICO dispensing technology and is constructed to the very same high-quality standards as the bigger production units: heavy-duty design and least maintenance components.
Already being utilized in several laboratories and research centers throughout the world such as given below.
Applications
Flexible tool to generate high-quality arrays
The S3 is the ideal tool for the development phase of users’ assay, as a result of its flexibility regarding printable capacity that users can print in glass slides, in microfluidic structures, in microtiter plates, and many more.
