Microliter, nanoliter or picoliter dispensing: small can be really BIG
Evolution-proof: good reasons for being small.
Sure, microliters, nanoliters and picoliters all sound small. But just like an elephant, a koala, and a Etruscan shrew (the smallest mammal in the world), evolution has shown that even small ones can be giants, too!
Precision microdispensing deals in these tiny volumes, where even a small difference can have a big impact. Where every drop counts, knowing the scale matters!

Accelerate your science.
Being small offers you several advantages: you are often faster, more flexible and need less to get your daily life done. Good luck if you need to catch a mouse by hand in your basement next time.
Like in nature, precision microdispensing has all the advantages of miniaturization: more speed by multiplexing, higher accuracy and flexibility in combination with less waste and efforts. Means: a whole lot of science done right!

Tiny Spots, Huge Impact!
Imagine fitting hundreds—even thousands—of different tests onto a surface no bigger than a postage stamp. That’s the magic of microarrays: each minuscule spot holds a unique reagent, like antibodies or PCR primers, allowing for massive parallel testing in a compact space.
The key to this technology? Picoliter liquid dispensing. Accurate positioning and volume of each spot ensure reliable results and cost-effective diagnostics. Think of it as pixel-perfect printing for the molecular world—where every dot matters.

When Precision Meets Innovation: The sciFLEXARRAYER Advantage
In the world of picoliter dispensing, the sciFLEXARRAYER stands out as the maestro of micro-drops. Equipped with SCIENION’s patented sciDROP PICO technology, it delivers drop-on-demand dispensing from 10 pL to 800 pL per drop. This non-contact, piezo-driven system ensures each droplet lands exactly where it’s needed, every single time.
Whether you’re crafting intricate microarrays or loading biosensors, the sciFLEXARRAYER offers unparalleled accuracy and flexibility. From R&D to high-throughput manufacturing, it’s the go-to instrument for scientists who refuse to compromise on precision.
With the sciFLEXARRAYER, you’re not just dispensing liquids; you’re placing confidence in every picoliter!
