Products - Cartesian synQUAD Ink Jet Technology
Manufacturer: Genomic Solutions Inc.
Description:
The synQUAD technology involves the coupling of a high-speed microsolenoid valve with a high-resolution syringe pump and synchronization of the dispense system with the translation stage. The result is an extremely fast dispensing system, which can delivery volumes from 20 nL to 20 µL with true "on the fly" dispensing. synQUAD technology can work in either an aspirate/dispense configuration or bulk dispense mode.
Features/Benefits:
All synQUAD dispensing platforms are ideal for addition of reagents to assay plates containing compounds for investigation. Use synQUAD to add buffers, receptors, enzymes and cells. synQUAD systems also provide aspirate and dispense capability. Using the aspirate and dispense mode, the solution to be dispensed is aspirated up through the synQUAD head, then dispensed into a higher density microtiter plate. The aspirate and dispense mode is useful for transferring limited volume samples such as live cells, enzymes, reagents, SPA® or LEADseeker® beads. This technology is also used to create low to medium density arrays on glass slides, membranes or in the bottom of 96 well microtitre with DNA, Antibodies, Proteins or other materials.

The patented synQUAD technology incorporated into the Cartesian Dispensing systems is able to place 500 nL into 1536 wells in 20 seconds. This revolutionary non-contact dispensing of drops on the fly is ideal for the most demanding HTS dispensing applications where high-speed and precise low volumes are required.
