Automate your application
Diagnostic chips
Pre-storage of reagents in small cavities of diagnostic chips or microfluidic cartridges.
Biosensors
Apply consistent coating films on sensor surfaces by reproducible nanoliter droplets.
Lateral Flow
Non-contact spot or line printing for the production of multiplex or line-based lateral flow assays.
MS sample preparation
Reproducible deposition of reference standards on tissue or other substrates for qMSI.
Intuitive software
Effortlessly define printing patterns by clicking on selected positions of your substrate. Utilize the Live-View mode for direct and precise selection via the screen.
PIPEJET® nanoDispenser
Experience nanoliter droplet generation (2 - 70 nanoliters) with our advanced piezo-actuated dispensing technology. The key element is the elastic polymer tip (dispensing pipe), manipulated by a piezo-driven piston for precise control of droplet volume.
Uniform droplet generation
Ensure robust dispensing of nanoliter droplets, even for challenging liquid classes.
- Accommodates simple to complex print patterns
- Deposits droplets into the smallest cavities
- Preserves substrate surface integrity
- Achieves precise droplet volume control through optical imaging.

Droplet volume verification
Characterization of new liquid classes
TOPVIEW camera
Substrate camera system enables Live-View of the substrate for dispense channel and process control.
Vision guided dispenser control
Benefit from a bird's-eye view camera that simplifies dispense channel control and quality assurance, including verifying successfully dispensed droplets.
- Offset correction ensures precise alignment of droplets at the target position.
- Dispense on target effortlessly with a simple point-and-click.
- Automated quality control includes the acquisition and storage of images of dispensed droplets or areas.
What kind of dispensing technology is used?
The PIPEJET® dispensers are based on a piezo actuated non-contact, drop-on-demand technology enabling the generation of uniform nanoliter droplets by direct volume displacement.
What is the maximum number of dispensing channels?
8 dispensing channels. The BIOSPOT® Dx can be equipped with up to 8 PIPEJET® dispense modules. Other configurations (e. g. combination of SIJET and PIPEJET®) require BIOSPOT® Custom or BIOSPOT® X (for additional 3rd party integration).
What kind of liquids can be dispensed?
The droplet dispenser can dispense a wide range of liquids including buffers & detergents, DMSO, ethanol, methanol, beads, living cells, oils, and more.
I have a custom diagnostic chip design. How is the chip secured on the workdeck?
Device can be configured with custom substrate tray layouts specificly designed to fit the dimension of your diagostic chip or cartridge.
Additionally, standard deck layouts are available to secure standard substrates, such as membranes or glass slides.
