synQUAD


Available in Digilab Systems or as Stand Alone OEM Modules

Digilab synQUAD™ dispensers enable the researcher to select the motion of the dispenser. When high speed is a the priority, drops can be dispensed 'on-the--fly' and a single channel can fill a 1536 well plate in less than two minutes. "On-the-fly' dispensing is achieved by synchronizing not only the syringe and valve, but also the movement of the platform.

As the head or platform moves from target-to-target
(well to well), the movement of the syringe is synchronized
to dispense the required drop volume. When the tip
is positioned over the target, the solenoid is actuated,
ejecting the drop.

Some applications do not require the highest speed but
do require good positional accuracy. The "stop-and-drop' dispense mode is ideal for these applications, placing the dispene tip less than a millimeter (or more) above the destination and positioning the drop with exceptional accuracy. The x, y motor resolution of the synQUAD is
1.5 µm and the positional accuracy is +/- 10 µm at
95% confidence. The stop-and-drop motion can generate arrays within the well of 96 well plate.

Digilab SynQUAD dispenses liquid in a variety of ways by
controlling the components that make up each channel:

  • Discrete drops (20 nL- several microliters).
    Individual drops are useful for applying small
    drops on to a solid target substrate or into a well.
  • Burst of drops (e.g. 1.0 µl dispensed as 1- x 100nl
    drop). This method improves mixing when dispensing
    into filled wells of a plate and reduces splashing if
    a large volume is dispensed into filled wells of a plate.
  • Fast stream (dispensing of large volumes-up to full
    syringe volume). This method is ideal for applications
    where filling a target well with a large volume of
    sample or diluent is required.
  • Line of drops (control of drop size and spacing).
    Line mode allows for rapid dispensing onto target
