Product catalog summary
Technology Overview
Autodrop Pipettes utilize piezo-driven inkjet printing technology to dispense fluids. The fluid is aspirated through a nozzle into a glass capillary, where a piezo actuator induces a shock-wave, emitting a droplet from the nozzle.

Criteria for Selecting Autodrop Pipettes
  • Type of fluid: Consider viscosity and concentration of additives.
  • Solvent type.
  • Presence and size of particles in the liquid.
  • Desired droplet diameter and emission frequency.
  • Dispensing volume requirements: single droplet or throughput per second.
  • Number of pipettes needed.
  • Potential for system upgrades to multiple dispenser heads.
  • Requirement for an xyz-positioning system.

Advantages
  • Fast liquid change and contactless dispensing.
  • Single droplet volumes range from 20 pl to 180 pl with a variation of approximately 1%.
  • Small storage and dead volumes.
  • Droplet rate ranges from 1 to 2000 Hz, with a velocity of approximately 2 m/s.
  • Capable of dispensing fluids with viscosities up to 20 mPas.

Features
  • The inner nozzle diameter affects droplet size and volume.
  • Droplet size and volume examples: 30 μm nozzle results in 35 μm droplet size and 20 pl volume; 50 μm nozzle results in 55 μm droplet size and 90 pl volume; 70 μm nozzle results in 70 μm droplet size and 180 pl volume.
  • Spot size on substrate depends on fluid-surface wetting behavior.
  • Customized solutions available from microdrop Technologies GmbH.

Specifications
  • Autodrop Pipette with 25 μl storage volume: Viscosity range 0.4 to 20 mPas, standard nozzle diameters of 30 μm, 50 μm, 70 μm, droplet volume 20 to 180 pl, droplet velocity 2 m/s, drop rate 1 to 2000 Hz, life cycle over 100 billion cycles, dimensions provided.
  • Autodrop Pipette with 1 ml storage volume: Similar specifications as the 25 μl version, with larger dimensions and materials in contact with fluid include glass and silicone.

AD-K-401 to AD-K-501 Pipettes-1

ADVANTAGES Fast liquid change Օ Contactless dispensing Single droplet volumes from 20 pl to 180 pl * Օ Variation of dispensed volume approx. 1 % * Very small storage volume Օ Very small dead volume of about 12 μl Droplet rate 1 ... 2000 Hz * (provided by a standard driver electronics) Օ Droplet velocity approx. 2 m/s * It is possible to dispense fluids with a viscosity up to about 20 mPas * Technology Features Autodrop Pipettes are based on piezo-driven inkjet printing technology. The fluid is aspirated through the nozzle tip into the glass capillary. The integrated piezo actuator induces a shock-wave into the fluid contained in the pipette, which causes a droplet to be emitted from the nozzle. Օ The inner nozzle diameter of the Autodrop Pipettes strongly influences the droplet size. The relation between inner nozzle diameter, droplet size and droplet volume is: inner nozzle diameterdroplet size in flight *droplet volume *30 Վm35 ܎m20 pl 50 ܎m55 ܎m90 pl 70 ܎m70 ܎m180 pl Criteria to find the best Autodrop Pipette ܕ What kind of fluid is to be dispensed (Viscosity, concentration of additives etc.)? > * depending on the fluid used What kind of solvent is used? Օ Are there particles in the liquid: Size and concentration of particles? The spot size on the substrate depends on the wetting behaviour between the fluid and the surface material. Օ Desired diameter of the droplets Desired droplet emission frequency Օ Dispensing volume: a) single droplet b) throughput of droplets per second microdrop Technologies GmbH are specialized in cus-tomized solutions. Please ask for application-optimized dispenser heads! Օ How many pipettes are necessary for the application? Is there an interest to upgrade the system to more than one dispenser head later? Օ Is an xyz-positioning system required?Need help? Please send us a short description of the application and a datasheet of the fluid. >
