Autodrop Pipettes: Dispensing Aqueous Solutions in the Picoliter Range

Autodrop Pipettes from microdrop Technologies offer high-precision liquid handling based on advanced piezoelectric inkjet printing. Fluids are aspirated directly through the nozzle tip into a glass capillary, enabling rapid liquid exchange from multiple sources. A built-in piezo actuator generates a shock wave within the fluid, ejecting droplets with exceptional accuracy and consistency.

Key Features:

  • Drop-on-Demand Dispensing: Ideal for applications like biosensor or microarray production and high-throughput screening and spotting

  • Fast Liquid Change Enables: efficient aspiration from sources such as microtiter plates and supports automated cleaning.

  • Large Volume range available from up to 0.75 ml to 34 µl with minimal dead volume (~14 µl)

  • Glass Capillary Design: Enables automated cleaning and reduces cross-contamination risks

  • Compatible with both the MD-E-5000 dispensing system and automated workflows.

Autodrop Pipettes are engineered for demanding life science applications, including biosensor production, tissue engineering, and Lab-on-a-Chip system

AD-K-901 Nozzle with Integrated Piezo Element

Pipette AD-K-901 holds up to 37 μl and can dispense 20-180 pl

Microdrop Dispenser Heads for Printing Pico-Liter Drops of Various Materials

Microdrop Dispenser Heads are based on advanced piezo-driven inkjet printing technology. An integrated piezo actuator generates a shock wave within the fluid chamber, ejecting precise droplets from the nozzle — all without contact.

Key Features:

  • Drop-on-Demand Dispensing: Ideal for printing over larger areas with pinpoint accuracy

  • Large Reservoir: Handles fluid volumes up to 8 ml, enabling long walk-away times for automated workflows

  • Thermal Control: Heatable or coolable nozzle tips to accommodate a wide range of liquid viscosities

  • Rear-Loading Fluid Reservoir: Ensures clean and efficient dispensing

  • High Durability: Lifetimes exceeding 100 billion cycles

  • Compatible with both the MD-E-5000 dispensing system and automated workflows.

Nanojet Piezovalve- Nanoliter High-Precision Non-Contact Dispensing

microdrop’s Nanojet Piezovalves are engineered for ultra-precise, non-contact dispensing across a wide viscosity range — from low-viscosity fluids to hot melt adhesives (up to 2,000,000 mPas). These valves are ideal for applications in microelectronics, medical technology, and semiconductor manufacturing.

Key Features:

  • Piezoelectric Trigger Pulse: Ensures highly accurate droplet generation

  • Flexible Integration: Operates standalone or within Microdrop’s Autodrop Positioning System

  • Wide Volume Range: Models available for fluids from 5 nl to over 200 µl per cycle

  • Thermal Control: Operates between 10 °C and 50 °C

  • Robust & Stable: Designed for 24/7 industrial use

  • Modular Design: Easily exchangeable nozzles for different med
